Poems

WITHIN YOU

From the October 1973 issue of The Christian Science Journal


Of pearl is the gate
(Truth is a pearl)
to this kingdom
royal and fair.
In the midst of the throne is the
Lamb;
Love and Principle
govern this realm.
This realm of Mind
and Mind's idea,
this realm of Life
and Life's reflex image,
is forever awaiting
your
arrival and entry.

Only you can
write your own passport,
stamp your own visa,
claim your citizenship.

There is none
to deny you,
no power to bar you—
the kingdom of God
is within
you.
