Poems

So Thin the Veil

From the March 1953 issue of The Christian Science Journal


Here in the heavens of uplifted thought,
Beyond the veil of matter, is your home—
Your kingdom home in Spirit and in Truth.
So thin the veil of matter, self, and sin
That childlike prayers, breathed from the heart of love,
Will bring you angels guiding on your way.
So thin the veil, the lifted eyes of faith
Will pierce beyond to see what God has done.

The veil will disappear
As you press on. Do you not hear within
Your silences the Comforter that calls,
"Come unto me, and I will give you rest"?
So thin the veil that even now you feel
The outstretched arms of everlasting Love.
