May This Poem

May this poem be

a cool drink to a weary pilgrim,

a silver spark on a moonless night.

And if you are moved,

know that it wasn't

because of my words.

"I prayed to the Lord, and he answered me. He freed me from all my fears. Those who look to him for help will be radiant with joy; no shadow of shame will darken their faces."

- Psalm 34:4-5 (NLT)
