Poems

GOOD TIDINGS

From the December 1975 issue of The Christian Science Journal


You will not find this timeless news
On front-page headline,
Or in brash commercials
Heralded by fanfare
And the clash of cymbals.
Sheer sound alone cannot communicate
The impact of an angel thought.
A sempiternal stillness
Initiates this ageless truth.

The precious word
Whispered by angels
Was breathed upon a night
Frosted with stars. Across the clamoring years
This message comes afresh
In silent impartations
That reassure each listening heart
With inspiration, peace,
And joyous speechless wonder.
