Twenty-Third
Psalm For Pagans
The Lord and Lady
are my pace-setters
I shall not rush
They make me stop
and rest for quiet intervals
They provide me with
visions of stillness
which restores my
serenity
They lead me in ways
of efficiency
through calmness
of mind
Their guidance is
peace
Even though I have
much to accomplish
I will not worry
For their presence
is with me
Their timelessness,
their importance in my life
will keep me in balance
They prepare refreshment
for me and renewal in the midst of chaos
By anointing my spirit
with their oils of tranquillity
My cup of joyous
energy overflows
Surely harmony and
correct action shall be
the fruits of my
hours
and I shall walk
in the pace of my Lord and Lady forever.
