Poem December 2, 1985 Issue

Hush!

E. JEAN MAPPLEBECK

O busy
weary
worrying
world,

can't you pause for a moment—
enter into your closet and close the door?

What will you find?
Surely, quiet, peace of mind, harmony.

Do you harbor such dreadful phantoms
that you dare not pause, turn aside?

Stop
the perpetual motion,
the petty fears,
the useless strife.

Enter into your closet and close the door,

for I am there—
with quietness of Spirit,
tranquillity,
forgiveness.
I await your coming.

I AM,
and I am there.

E. JEAN MAPPLEBECK
