Poems

"I am the way"

You who, alone, live out your human dayLonging to find a comrade on the way,Listen! for many friendly feet are therePacing the very path that you must share.

Grace

Give us this day our daily bread.

Oneness

Think not thy sphere to circumscribe With measurements of time and space.

A Prayer

O Father-Mother God, I love Thee well,And come to listen for Thy "Peace, be still,"The thoughts of hate and wrong and strife to quell,And joyously with love my heart to fill.

As the poppy waits the morning sunIts petals to unfold,Until upon a gladdened worldIt smiles in radiant gold;So, patiently,I wait for Thee.

The Surrender to Love

The surrender to Love is not harsh, but is sweet,As the ointment of Magdalen laving the feetOf the Saviour, removing the dust of the street.

Held in Thy Law

The waves cream on the shoreline,Held by the sea alway;Their mighty tides resurgingTill eve, till break of day.
