Poems

Untouched by dreams

From the February 1985 issue of The Christian Science Journal


Thank you, Father, for purer love,
for stronger faith.
Let higher/deeper praise
sing sweeter song to parentage;
equip our listening heart
to quench heredity's lie,
dispel each dreaming nightmare
never made
by this all-knowing One,
so that we know and see
the so-called terminal belief
only terminate itself,

leaving us untouched
illustriously exempt.
The valiant
lifting of a fearless joy
to higher, greater
blessings awaits
each one's
unique fidelity.
