Poems

Safe

From the August 2016 issue of The Christian Science Journal


Safe
© JIM FOLEY/MOMENT/GETTY IMAGES

On the crashing shores,
     the ebb and flow of sense, I cry—
Feed my famished heart!
     Satisfy my yearning
for higher, purer ways.
     Quicken my affections
in the radiance of the real, 
      the shelter of Spirit’s embrace.

The still, quiet voice of God echoes
     through thought
resonating, lifting me,
     to rest on the cusp of reality 
until I see—
     You are still with me, Father.
You are always with me,
     and I am safe.
