ALREADY PERFECT

Oh, do not pray, some future day
"Thy will be done" :
some pain be still, some ill
or savage sin be gone.

Let that which is already true
be seen, revealed
by Love. The always so
needs nothing saved or healed.

For needed only is the sense
of Truth, to rise
within one's field of thought.
One knows no fantasies.

Infinite expression, man,
lives in Truth, for the one
real self is perfect, whole,
the God-reflecting son.

Jeanne Guerin Bengston
