Poems

Inviolate

From the March 1960 issue of The Christian Science Journal


Gone? Out of sight? But where,
O hearts that grieve and yearn?
No place to turn
outside Love's atmosphere.

No lonely, distant "there"
On resurrection morn.
That which was never born
could never die. No fear

Of death, made obsolete
By Science, interrupts
Being or corrupts
The truly animate.

One stood—“the doors were shut"—
Not seen to grief-dulled eyes
Till they could visualise
presence inviolate.
