PSALMIST SAYS:
Contend, O Lord, with those who contend with me;
fight against those who fight against me.
Take up shield and buckler;
arise and come to my aid.
Brandish spear and javelin
against those who pursue me.
Say to my soul,
"I am your salvation.."
PSALMIST DORIS PRAYS:
O Lord, you know me.
You know those who would harm me
better than I know them myself.
Take issue with them O Lord.
Put on face armor and breastplate
and come to my defense.
Threaten them with sword and spear
be in their face -
Say to them in loud and clear voice
"I am her protector."
Say to my soul,
"I am with you in the depths of your being,
I am yours always forever vigilant.
Have no worry.
I hear your voice O Lord in the depths of my being
The Lord says:
Lift up your face Doris
close your eyes
I see your heart searches for my embrace
I am inside you always - just waiting for the turn of
your thought.
A turn of the atom and now I am in your thought and you are always in mine.
I love you and you love me - that's how it is
alas
O Lord
I think
how pungent
how human
how divine
and in a nanosecond
the breath of a heartbeat - a whisper
that is all it takes
we meet -
like forever the dawn meets the day
and we are one.
Doris
