Poem

“Let there be light”

From the November 2026 issue of The Christian Science Journal


November Interlude

Before time measured day from night,
light appeared—
not kindled, but revealed.
It was Mind’s knowing,
its own presence as Love,
the certainty that God is All.

Consciousness lifted,
and the firmament appeared—
not a sky above,
but a truer view
of Spirit, unveiled.

Foundation formed,
and ideas flourished—
Life revealing itself
as growth,
as goodness,
as proof of Love.

Order emerged—
not in planets or suns,
but in harmony,
in paths made clear,
in Principle revealing
what must follow.
Expression unfolded—
individuality alive with joy,
each idea moving
in the freedom
of divine Love.

Identity appeared—
not mortal or limited,
but the infinite likeness of Mind,
the image of Soul,
fully realized,
forever at one
with the creator.

Rest was known—
not pause nor ending,
but the stillness of Truth
proving creation complete
and forever good.

—Liesl Ehmke
