Poems

It's where you play the game

From the March 1982 issue of The Christian Science Journal


If you and your team won't play
the inner-thoughted game
of domination and submission—
suggested human will—
then we can all walk over to my
public stadium of matter and play
by of loud argument and discord.

Some choice!
Where is God's exit
from this fantasy
(where verbal bullies call the plays
in consciousness)?

Through open door of silent prayer
I take my team of thought and
my thought of team
to idea-fields of God, immortal Mind,
where I truly live and move and play
the game
acknowledging myself and everyone
obedient to Principle and thus
self-governed
in the universe of perfect spiritual law
of harmony for all and liberty for each.
