Poems

Safety is not in place. This Daniel proved When cast into a den of lions.

To those who know the power of Love that holds Man and his Maker inseverable, intact, Complete in oneness, precious Truth unfolds And proves for them the scientific fact There is no separation. For they who learn to understand this word As meaning "state of being set apart" Have felt within themselves new courage stirred And strength renewed to lead a grateful heart To deeper consecration.

Now Noah, being righteous, pleased the Lord, And built, as he was told, an ark. So, understanding that the things of God Were real, and could not be destroyed, He rode above the surge of error's tide, Dwelt safe within the ark; he proved That God will ever keep His covenant.

Awake to Truth and let the hour of light Cast out old shadows with the dawning day; Then in the joy of hope irradiate, Be vigilant and learn to watch and pray. When threatening storm clouds gather thoughts of fear, Of hatred, sorrow, discontent, and strife, With clear discernment seek the way of Truth; Put on the Christ and know eternal Life.

Our hope is in the spoken Word of God. Throughout eternity His Word endures.

O tender , all-embracing love of God, that draws us as the needle to the pole, we follow in the paths that Jesus trod and learn that now man is complete and whole. There is no point beyond the gravitation that Godward draws the feet of wandering men by ways they may not see, but God in wisdom is there to bring them to their home again.

This is my prayer, dear God, Father of all: Not for more blessings, since I am the heir Of Thine infinitude and now recall Each tender proof of Thy long-suffering care; Rather for growth in grace that I may prove My worthiness of love in loving deed, And thus, reflecting Love, indeed may move My brother to seek further in his need And find the Principle that saves and heals. So, helping one another, may we go Onward with that high vision which reveals Thy holy city, knowing that these slow And halting footsteps on the narrow way Will disappear when we awake to day.

I think my Father heard me say I had no time in one short day To show my thanks sufficiently For all the good He gives to me, Because He answered, "You will see, My child, you have eternity. ".

To all Love cried: "Unlatch your shuttered windows, let My all-encircling light Illumine your conceivings bare and crude. " But some replied: "Yet a day longer let us seek! Why must we now forsake The joy that is on easeful matter laid?" Then Love again: "Still shall I knock upon your door, And after trials dire You will make room for me when that day's gone.

Do you behold yourself an earth-bound sinner? Or sick, perhaps, or wearied with life's tasks? Then rouse you! You are only dreaming— God made you holy, well, and asks But that you live with joyous lightness, That you will see beyond the earthly masks. He has not made a single care or sorrow To grieve the heart of His own well-loved son; And as you waken from unhappy dreaming, You know yourself as free, with God at one.
