SINCE man reflects Soul in beauty, calm,Serenity, and peace,We fear no tumult, stress, or strainBut find releaseFrom whirling moods of mortal sense,Tossing, unsure:In spiritual consciousnessWe dwell secure.

Beloved child, beneath His wing,Beyond my mortal mothering,May I have grace to see you soAnd only what God knows, to know.

COMPLETENESS NOW

The night was warm; the night was still.
