A New Poem: Psalm


In the dream,

she was repeating

the opening lines

of the 23rd psalm,

over and over.

 

But King James's

language

was not her own.

She wanted to

keep the words

as a prayer,

as a mantra,

as a call.

And so she

re-wrote it:

 

Spirit is my guide.

I need nothing else.

It has me rest

in the peace of

the green world.

It leads me to

calm waters.

It restores my soul.

 

The dream was

a healing dream.

And so she kept it

as a gift.
