Psalm of the Soul

Sugar Zedna

***************************

I thank God

For the gift of psalms

Melodiously healing

My restless soul.

 

For I was blinded

By the vicissitudes of life

That slowly snatched my youth

And wrought incessant pain.

 

I was crippled

By my heedless travels

Carefree yet daunted

By unfamiliar destination

 

Ti’s now my chance

To sing psalms of praises

To liberate myself

From the bondage of a pained living

 

This tormented soul

Now cleansed with the

Purest flow of words

From the mouth of God.
