"All Shall Be Well - And All Manner Of Things Shall Be Well. Poem by Keith Shorrocks Johnson

"All Shall Be Well - And All Manner Of Things Shall Be Well.



I pray my rosary in feeling, touch, sight -

Three properties of God's revelation -

The sensations of Life, Love and Light

Come to hand, come to mind in meditation.



In life is marvelous homeliness

In love is gentle courtesy

And in light is endless naturehood.



These properties are within one goodness

To which I hold fast wisely and mightily:

Night is the cause of pain and our distress

And light stands against it discreetly - needfully



In life is wonderful vitality

In love is gracious redemption

And in light essential clarity.



Our faith is the dawning of endless day

In sweet accord as our blindness is lifted

And by that light we see the sovereign way

By which our unity with God is gifted.



In life are all things created one

In love there is no separation

And in light we see the source.
