Poems

The Plumb Line

From the January 2000 issue of The Christian Science Journal


Hanging true to vertical, it's never swayed
by tilted beams
or slanting floors
or rooms or worlds
wholly askew.

But what of my thoughts—
do they stay true?
—true to Spirit's pristine light?
—true to Mind's directing wisdom?
—true to Christ's simplicity?

Help me hew to a holier line
and worship You unswayed.
