Poems

Love-rise

in celebration of church

From the July 1986 issue of The Christian Science Journal


As in the beginning, we are not without love.
What else but Love-power could gather ideas to make a creation?
What else but the spirit of Love would brood upon the face of the
waters like a great Mother-wing,
orchestrating our individualities beneath it?

What else but Christ-love—by banishing the clouds of sin that
hide us from one another—can show us spiritual
creation already making music?

It's love that opens our eyes to teeming creation.
Because of love, we can never be alone.

Watch what happens in the glow of love-rise and you'll see
that church isn't what we build so that we can be together;
rather,
it's what we build when love has risen in our hearts
and we realize that we have never been separated.
