At Your Right Hand (Naomi)

Prompt: At your right hand a poem from the journal of Naomi David

At the time of ascents know this
When it is the time of wonder, of question, and of hopelessness
Look to the mountains

From the mountains comes your help
Far beyond the stars the maker of the heavens and of the earth watches
Your foot shall not falter
Nor will your steadfast guardian slumber

With a watchful eye over all that neither slumbers nor sleeps
The guardian is your shadow, the shade at your right hand
The heat of the sun by day shall not smite you nor the moon by night

You shall be guarded from all evil
 your soul shielded
With protection both going out and coming in

For now and for eternity
Look to the mountains
That is where the guardian watches
To ensure you shall not go as a lamb to slaughter

Look to the mountains
And at the shade of your right hand
From this time forth and even forevermore
