RIVER OF LIFE

As the pure freshness of the melting snowQuickens the wintry woodland to new lifeWith rills innumerable whose crystal flowRipples in secret under last year's leaf,So comes Truth's revelation unto men.

FAR-FLUNG

Peace be multiplied to you!Far-flung through space and time and tonguethis heavenly blessing runs.

MARTHA OR MARY

Luke 10:38-42

PROXIMITY

Truth rolls away the heavy stone,Expels the night,Reveals the omnipresent ChristIn dawn-pure light.

THEY KNEW IT NOT

When wonder and awe were voicedBy those who came to seeMatter's supposed forceConsume the three,

HERITAGE OF LOVE

The world, once limited, is wideNow as the sky and the sea,It stretches out on every sideIn its immensity.

THE VERY STONES

The need is here.

CHANGE OF VIEW

I saw myself a mortal, meeting deadlines;I saw my fellowman a judge, and soI felt that I must beat about with fervorAnd rush with haste and frenzy to and fro—Until I caught a glimpse of God's perfection,His wondrous, endless, changeless, loving plan.
