Poems

Truth demonstrated

From the August 1996 issue of The Christian Science Journal


I believed I was encased in matter-body
imperfect,
disproportioned,
limited.

"If only the world—and I—could see through the facade,
love me for who I really am ..."
(the loving and lovely idea of divine Mind) .

Mesmerized by physical sense report,
I believed what I saw.

Then revelation, a glimpse of Christ, Truth:
spiritual life, my reality—
physical sense exposed as the dreamer.

Awake to my true identity,
I
could
see
"I never was measured, shaped, defined
by matter-body.
I have never been distorted, imprisoned,
never been less than spiritual, beautiful,
Godlike."

Alignment!
Alignment of thought with spiritual truth,
coincidence of human and divine!
And I saw evidenced the Truth I understood—
and the world did too.
