ACIM Poem: What Is A Miracle?

What is a Miracle?
---------------------------

Is a Miracle . . . .

. . . our planet which is spherical?
. . . a prophesy that's biblical?
. . . science which is empirical?
. . . a singer who is lyrical?
. . . a writer who's satirical?
. . . a reader who is critical?

No --

A Miracle's a correction
Of mankind's mis-perception.
As we go about our earthly business
It tells us of our own forgiveness.

By enlightening our mind
It takes us beyond time.
It keeps us in a Holy place
And gives us all the gift of Grace.

This world does not know its way
Because its laws we don't obey.
It finally makes us see the truth
Whether we're old or in our youth.

We know we won't be crucified
'Cause forgiveness now is justified.
It takes the very worst of life
And removes the very curse of life.

It takes us to the altar of Creation
Where we fulfill our sacred obligation.
Our sight has been corrected
And false dreams have been rejected.

It gives us all the very best
And reminds us we are very blessed
'Cause we've withstood the test
By making Heaven manifest.

A Miracle makes us finally see
What we can finally be:
Souls with immortality.
