Poems

THE CHURCH MEMBERS

From the June 1977 issue of The Christian Science Journal


In truth we are all
"lively stones"
in the temple of our God,
not weighted down
by inert matter
not burdened with heaviness
like anchored boulders.

We are lively stones!
light, but not ephemeral,
having
solidity of purpose
and fluency of joy

showing forth
Love's loveliness
Spirit's holiness
Mind's liveliness:

Lively stones
hewn from the rock of Truth
and raising a temple of praise
to the everlasting God.
