O Luminous One Poem by Richard (Narad) Eggenberger

O Luminous One

O luminous One I bow before Thy feet
And all my yearning soul to Thee consign,
I wander now in deep tranquillity
Among the flower-paths and would be Thine.

Yet all the outer shell remains oblique
And still I fall into the ingrained ways
Where self-control is lost and ego rides
Upon my back and anger rears and neighs.

But briefly now these moments of regress,
For deep within my heart a Presence dwells
And in our mortal soil a truth-light grows.
Descending now a heavenly music swells,

A sudden joy our sorrow overtakes
And to Thy touch the sleeping soul awakes.
