Poems

Awake!

From the February 1986 issue of The Christian Science Journal


Forsake the dream
and move into a larger place—
a consciousness of man's inherent
dignity as God's beloved child.

Forsake the dream
of puny mortal pushed by
carnal urges, helpless to resist
the blandishments of mortal mind.

Forsake the dream!
And find your wakeful selfhood,
which freely moves, immaculate,
within the sinless consciousness of God.
