Poems

THE GROWING

From the October 1971 issue of The Christian Science Journal


Bright green shoots pushing through soil—
young thoughts working their way up
through worldliness around them,
in spite of atmosphere pollution, hail of condemnation—
impelled by that within which
responds to Life-energy, Love-warmth, Truth-light.

Pull at them to speed the process?
pry apart the shoots to see what's coming?
Sure destruction that way!
Better just to shine—unite with rays that draw them up—
and watch the growing!
