MIND'S KINGDOM WITHIN

Candace T. Purser

Got to think,
Exams are near,
I wander into oblivion
To eradicate my fear.

Papers due,
Books unread,
Too many facts
To cram one's head.

Nothing makes sense;
I'm out of tune,
My peace seems disrupted,
Exams are too soon!

But peace and intelligence
Are not from without;
They're inside Love's kingdom
In heavenly thought.

Ideas unfolding
In Truth's ordered way
Are clearly discerned
When I stop and pray.

Mind's answer is simple:
"Reflect!"—but how?
By quietly knowing
The within is now.
