Poems

Where you belong

From the January 1981 issue of The Christian Science Journal


God,
     speaking to His beloved, says: Come unto Me where you belong
                                                                   and stay with Me.
     Look out from My infinitude of good, seeing good and only good,
     for I Am that I Am, the All and Only: beside Me there is none.

Within my Father-Mother heart I hold you each and all—
     spotless, treasured child in atmosphere of Soul—
                                                                      your life in Mine pulsating.

          You shall not crave your lovely veld
                flame lily,* rock and dassie,**
           for in Soul-created form
           they reappear with you in Me—
                 giraffe, tree, moon, and star,
           over which I give you sweet dominion.

See reflected in yourself My peace
     within this sanctity—your home.
     You cannot move out of My presence. . . .where could you go?

                                                                   Totally yielding,
                                                                       rise in communion to Me.
