Poems

Beauty of holiness

From the February 1978 issue of The Christian Science Journal


Not bland truths powderpuffed on—
cosmetic glossover of evil's ugliness—
but affirmation of the irresistible
root-radical
error-wrenching
death-defying
foundation of faith,
that dynamic Principle
of gentle omnipotence,
which effaces
whatever seems to hide
God's reflected beauty—
perfect man.
