Poems

O sweet witness

From the February 2023 issue of The Christian Science Journal


what a thing it is
to discover
that you were never ever
in a day
responsible for 
the revolutions
or distributions
of the world 

o sweet witness 
hush
be still
behold 

consider
the steady hands
at the helm 

divine Love
“kindling the stars,
rolling the worlds” 1 

the whole world
(and you)
minutiae to magnitude 

in Love’s
everlasting
loving arms
—Joni Overton-Jung 

1 Mary Baker Eddy, Miscellaneous Writings 1883–1896, p. 332.
