Psalm - Maya Spector

[Lawrence Robinson]

Psalm

In the dream,
she was repeating
the opening lines
of the 23rd psalm,
over and over.
 
But King James's
language
is 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.
