Poems

The eternal now

[Original in French]

From the October 1988 issue of The Christian Science Journal


Neither suffering, pain, nor tears
Exist in eternity
But the clear consciousness
Of a heart all humility.
This heart cannot suffer from year succeeding year,
From trials of time or other souvenir
Of obsessive past or future never here
Or even a regret of weakness far or near,
But in hope rejoicing
This heart finds its all
In infinite ever-present Thou,
Eternal now.
