Poems

Stillness

From the August 1989 issue of The Christian Science Journal


Be still and know—
know what?
Know God as Love.
The fire and the glory
shone on those who knew
Love is forever.
Love that cannot hate
nor feel contempt
or cold disdain
for a world held in agony
between wars
and rumors of wars.
Love that cannot wilt
nor wither.
The stillness of this flowing Love,
no edge
no rim.
Just boundless Love
without
within.
