I shall choose not to be afraid
Of the arrows which pierce by day
Flying without any sense of direction
Or the deadly diseases
Which stalk in the night of darkness
Under the veil of gloom.
His armor shall be my protection
From the loss of opportunities
Surrounding the feathers
Which cover my wings.
When one entryway opens...
Another closes
Shielding us from the serpent
Detours carefully guarded
By the traps which surround
A refuge from the terrors
Which attempt to consume.
(inspired by Psalm 91, in light of our present economy)
I love this. His armor shall be my protection, such a beautiful description. That is the way we should all feel and choose not to be afraid. I know things are bad but there is a higher power that's in control. Thank you for this today, I needed it and thank you so much for the nice comments on mine... Susie

the cold air
dropping the gull
from its warm thermal
