i rise from my bed: psalm 23

I rise from my bed,
To the dawn of a new day.
I walk down to the valley,
Freer than I've been my entire life.

It's now just ash and dust,
For cash and lust.

All that remains for my atonement,
Is a small monument.
And I'll lay down by the pleasant waters,
Reflecting all the days of my life.

Even as I walk through the valley shadowed by death (Psalms 23:4).
