Poems

Your sweet innocence, unaware of your demands, Makes me humbly seek direction to give you what I can. In the process of my searching I find out even more About the love that's given to each knocking at the door.

Eyes of love look right through The angry scene, the nightmare view. Eyes of love find the way To whisk aside the false disguise, In healing grace, beholding you.

Deep in the silence I seem to feel the warm smile of a glad creator tenderly reflecting on each diamond detail of His perfect reflection radiant forever smiling in His own image ever perfect ever at peace ever unfolding. CLAUDIUS IVAN PLANIDIN.

Boundless circumference of divine Principle encloses, contains, and doesn't let go. Here, no hard flat edges of limited horizons restrict us to wearisome ruts or pitfalls of some same old groove.

My thoughts need composting, Till they become rich with faith lessons and holy worth. Some sins need uprooting.

More stubborn than his beast Balaam See Numbers 22:21-26 rode a mortal will toward great restriction— matter's promises always run from fat to thin— like water through a funnel. In humble discipline Enoch See Genesis 5:24 walked through Spirit's straight and narrow gate and Mind expanded life infinitely for him like stepping from a tunnel.

I storm the day for things that reaffirm my worth, give ease! But deficient mortal mind and its demanding, drags me down and circumstance or earthly goods cannot appease. Chastened, I sense my real need.

No one's looking. Didn't anybody hear? Boy! And it's such a great idea God has given me.

These walls extend to encompass the world. Words of truth build up around us, and on granite foundations we stand firm— seeing through limitation to the creation of God.

The Reader smiles: the message of the words uplifting thought toward joyous understanding — sought by all who gather here. The Reader smiles: expression from that important post reaching in appropriate ways the host of all who gather here.
