Poems

Flight

From the May 2014 issue of The Christian Science Journal

Wings
are thoughts 
which spread to catch
the immortal breath of Spirit

so
Love
will nudge
the fledgling out
to learn to brave earth’s wintry blasts

then
Mind
enfolds
with tender arms
the heart unsure, the soul cast down

and
Christ
speaks low
when fear o’erwhelms,
breaking the clouds, bearing thee home.

—Benjamin Frederick
