PERENNIAL BIRTH

Edith Coonley Howes

New birth is a dawning,
An impelling vision
Of perfect being, beautiful, free.
New birth is a praising,
A glad recognition
Of man's completeness through eternity.

New birth is awakening
From all worldly longing
To Love's pure peace; Truth's radiance known.
New birth is awareness
Of our Father-Mother
And of that heaven that is man's only home.

New birth is unfoldment,
A grateful acceptance
Of active duty that breaks dreams of earth;
A door ever opening
To further fulfillment;
Life ever appearing. This is new birth.
