Poems

THE PRACTITIONER

From the August 1972 issue of The Christian Science Journal


Through prayer
he frees himself from hidden jungle snares
that would destroy.
Through prayer
he shelters those who choose to walk with him
his proven path.
Knowing
they have never been outside the
without-beginning,
without-ending perfect sphere of Life.

They move together,
divinely directed, protected,
untouched,

bypassing evil's underbrush
of pain, darkness, and despair.

They move on.
They reach Mind's clearing.
He leaves them there.
