Wilt thou be made whole?

Patti Maher

Will you release the worldly thinking
that shackles you today?
Are you ready to see
the new heaven, the new earth?
Are you open to having
a total rebirth?
Can you touch the fringes
of spiritual Life
and let go
of all mortal strife?
“Wilt thou be made whole?” ¹
—wake up
to the kingdom of heaven
without and within?
Are you ready to accept it
—at least to begin
to look beyond what appears to be
and grasp . . . reality?
In the here
and the now,
are you ready to say,
“Yes!”
today?
