ANN F. SEARLES

Words without deeds—flat plains to walk
of sparse, desertlike, skeletal
verbalism,
without meaning or healing.

Mere wordiness—forested mountains to scale
of many-syllabled, remotely understood
vocabulary,
self-full
without healing.

The Word—fragrant valley
of profoundly simple depths,
God's Logos, divine Science,
authoritative,
enlightening,
understandable,
healing!
