Psalm Poem by W.I. Stoneberger

Psalm

Rating: 5.0


Down on my knees, pulling weeds and wiregrass
out of the flowerbed from around the asters
the lavender the columbine and coneflower.

Down on my knees, as if saying a prayer
with the mantis who lives on the azelea
the spider suspended between the foamflower stems.

Down on my knees, under the loblolly pines
sheltered in their shadows a serenity
surrounding me in the middle of the afternoon.
