we shall not want - v2


something existential
beyond our comprehension
such words of peace, of comfort
within this prayer, these words

the tense of the poem matters
the ancient words of David
not that we 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 we shall not want
that God will be with us
that God will provide

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

even as our enemies may plot
may scheme against us
we shall not want
because our God is with us
