a poem from 2000 based on the psalm written because I was and am losing my faith in God.
Answer me oh Lord my thoughts are troubling The enemy's voice is his He brings suffering and anger upon me My heart is anguished the terrors of death assail me I am overwhelmed by terror I am trembling with horror I flew like the dove into the desert far away I had shelter Far from the tempest The enemy insulted me I endured it He raised himself against me I hid from him I've cried out in distress You've ransoned me unharmed The battle is against me and then the wave comes The enemy attacks his friends he violates the covenant his speech is smooth, his heart is war His words are oil and they are drawn swords but as for me, I trust you�

Beth, you have been so expressive in this poetry, and it strikes me not as pitiful or self-sympathy, but more stunningly descriptive: I deeply appreciate these lines: "his speech is smooth, his heart is war/His words are oil and they are drawn swords". So powerful. The whole piece is huge. ~~ Diana

There's no doubt in my mind that you are the Latter-Day Psalmnist. The Good Book is a good source of inspiration for your work. I like to pen what I call "Hard Gospel" now and then.
