Poems

Expanding on an insight

From the February 1983 issue of The Christian Science Journal


"My words fly up, my thoughts
 remain below.
Words without thoughts never to
heaven go."
Shakespeare, Hamlet, Act III, scene 3

My thoughts fly up, my deeds
remain below;
Thoughts without acts will never
heaven know.

My deeds fly up, my love
remains below;
Deeds without Love will never
in heaven grow.

My loves fly up to Love,
tares left below;
I know each act a seed
in heaven sown.
