The Birth of Venus / La Naissance de Vénusminati / El Nacimiento de Venus / Die Geburt der Venus - an art work by T Newfields I have worshipped you
since my birth
& will remain your servant
til this body is the food of worms

You are the essence
of everyone I've loved
& Goddess with a Thousand Names.

Remembering you
this life becomes meaningful
& soul gains strength

For what value is life
without devotion to beauty?
& what is beauty without truth?

You are the attraction
felt by all poets
& secrets ancients knew.

Goddess –
I surrender to you
though in truth
you've always held me
