One Whom I Love Poem by Richard (Narad) Eggenberger

One Whom I Love

Who drew that orange streak across the sky,
Suffused with tints of pewter touched with teal,
Was it the hem of God passing by
Or phenomenon of science most surreal.

I watch the birth and death of lovely things
Of birds and animals, beloved friends
And feel the joy the spirit's oneness brings
The peace that through this woeful world extends.

I feel the pain of others as my own
And with less seeing eyes than those who are blind
Know I am not I alone in the Alone
That vastness where the stellar giants wind.

She whom I love, for whom I deeply yearn
Gives all to me, asks nothing in return.
