Poems

RISE UP!

From the April 1976 issue of The Christian Science Journal


Rise up!
You're not forsaken or alone.
A tomb
never hid the glory,
The shining radiance of being.
The illumined understanding
Receives the continuous flow
Of uninterrupted grace.
The total admission
Of spiritual reality
Eliminates impurities
and radiates
The heavenly beauty.
Just when and where
a longing heart may need
To feel its tender touch,
tenderness comes back to you again,
And you—
No longer matter-bound
Nor limited
But free to express
Perfect relationship—
can feel its warmth
a hundredfold
and be much comforted.
