23 psalm. 23 prayer.



your beauty and kindness chase me down.
shadowy darkness grabs at my heels
but i can look it in the eye
because you're right beside me.
Like a good shepherd you bring me
comfort; keeping me close
with hateful eyes looking on-
you serve a banquet meal.
My hair is drenched with your oil blessing
your fragrance treads before my every step.
This cup i hold-
brimming
spilling over with uncontainables
joy, love, peace.
with every step more spills over the rim.
your beauty and embrace
they chase me down.
collapse my unsteady stance
and fling wide the hinges
that lead to your house
where i'd like to stay...
forever.
amen.
