Psalm 23/The Poem

Psalm 23 by Tom Atkins

Psalm 23/The Poem

Peace. Still Waters. No fear
Even in the face of mine enemies,
Even when that enemy is myself.

About this poem

I posted this piece of art on my art blog this morning, and the poem, what my friend and fellow poet Kate Rantilla calls “a shortling”, just kinda popped up.
