ETERNAL PRESENCE


In the shadows of a secret silent sacred place 
Almighty God is dwelling, in whose essence
I find my refuge and my strength
And deliverance from the vile and toxic waste 
of a world of spreading pestilence.
Under the wings of angels, I am shielded
and swiftly guided and whisked away to peace.

The terrors of the night and the violent abuses of day 
Of raging psychopaths no longer reach me, they are kept at bay 
For God is my continual and everlasting habitation 
Here there is no evil nor plagues of violent confrontation.

I have called upon His name and he did answer me
And I am with Him always in His eternal presence in eternity.

(my version of Psalm 91)
