Poems

"Blessed are your eyes"

Matthew 13:16

From the February 1966 issue of The Christian Science Journal


A prophet's blessing, who shall earn it?
A prophet's vision, who shall discern it?
A prophet's mission, who shall turn it
back?

Who are the space age prophets? They who, Spirit-based, look
out from Infinity upon the infinite, their eyes
envisioning new dimensions, boundless possibilities;

they who forsake their comfortable grooves of thought
to follow Christ, obedient, alert
to every guiding touch of Truth.

These walk by faith;
they are the spiritual adventurers. The true
space age prophets could be you

or your neighbor. These do not fear
to step outside the habitual, the familiar,
to walk earth-weightless in the consciousness of light.

A prophet's blessing, all may earn it,
a prophet's vision, all may discern it,
a prophet's mission, none can turn it
back.
