Poems

Beyond and above

From the November 2016 issue of The Christian Science Journal


A golden field
@NATALIA GANELIN/MOMENT/GETTY IMAGES.

Candles of sunlight
     dance as they rise
O’er dappled green
     meadows
Joying my eyes
Yet beyond and above
     a moment in time
Glows the light true
     eternal, sublime

Its ineffable joy
The kingdom within
Where vast views of
     heaven
Forever have been
In that sweet secret
     place
Of grandeur and might
Ever safe, ever held
In Truth’s marvelous light

—G. Gershala Goldsmith
