Analysis of Psalm the 84th, through Vale of Tears. Through.



This is an honest sentiment.
I came, I endured
I went to a place
Of watered confidence.
From desert to Divine presence.
If even just a doorkeeper
In the singing House of my God.

Sparrows and swallows nest there
Breed, feed
So content.
Just as Sons of Korah meant.
Rescued, redeemed, unbent.

Indeed there has come
An audacity
A currency
Birthed in the pain and quandary.
The clinging unto His garment.

And providing resource
For other ones hurting.
God would have it so.
He chiseled.
You yielded, prayerfully.
Birthing a Warrior of Compassion.
And as the sacred words portray:
He is forever Sun, Shield
Grace and Glory. Amen.

About this poem

6 As they pass through the Valley of Baka, they make it a place of springs; the autumn rains also cover it with pools.
