I shall not want - 3


something existential
beyond my comprehension
such words of peace, of comfort
within this prayer, this promise

the tense of the poem matters
the ancient words of David
not that I have been fed
that God has provided

not that God is providing
in this very moment
far more expansive
a testament of peace

a word in the future tense
that I shall not want
that God will be with me
that God will provide

that I can be at peace
whatever may come
even in the darkest valley
within the shadow of death

even as my enemies may plot
may scheme against me
I shall not want
because our God is ever with me
