The Avatar, The Seer Poem by Richard (Narad) Eggenberger

The Avatar, the Seer

Now the mind is stilled and slowly peace
Descends in waves and I no longer know
The road on which I've walked unconsciously
In haste to find that place where I must go
To find the reason for my time on earth.
A lonely road I travel and alone
Must seek the inner light or careless fail.
For what past sins my spirit must atone
In these twilit years I catch a fleeting glimpse
And wondrous lives long past and loves no more.
For all I have achieved adds up to nil
As I approach the hallowed open door.
Who calls me by my name, invites me in?
He who embraces me I know, revere,
Before Him in the fading of my days
I stand before the Avatar, the Seer
Of all Creation, Lord of all the worlds
Who blesses me as I bend to touch His Feet
Humbled, honoured, God on earth to meet.
