Psalm 122 — Pray For Peace
A Villanelle
I’m glad to walk within Your walls,
And stand within Your gates;
I pray for peace among Your halls.
You stand upon the mount and call
To all, from low to great,
To come and walk within Your walls.
I stand, whatever may befall,
For You are with me, my Helpmate;
I pray for peace among Your halls.
When sun is warm or when rain falls,
I will remain: with You I’ll wait,
And I will walk within Your walls.
For You I seek the good for all:
Of those who love and those who hate,
And pray for peace among Your halls.
“Peace be with you, all in all;
Let peace and love be e’er your fate.”
I’m glad to walk within Your walls;
I pray for peace among Your halls.
Esther learned to read when she was four years old, and began writing shortly thereafter. She is a queer Christian poet, crafting with words to create art and music.
