Poems

The Reading Room

From the November 1959 issue of The Christian Science Journal


Here find the vision of that clear, creative light
of which dark chaos dreamt and still is dreaming,
drawing the mind and heart up and above
illusive cloud of temporal seeming.

Freed from old earthward drag,
here find a new direction;
blessed by this quiet, find
complete divine protection.
Here find solution to each gnawing problem
set by negation,
positive answer to the searching world's
unsatisfied interrogation.

Here is reward for that persistent seeking—
the soul's demanding—
door to the acquisition of that certain peace,
outdistancing all human understanding.
