Richard (Narad) Eggenberger Poems

A New Life Begin

I have lost my fascination with the stars.
They yield no light upon the taxing way
...

Fireweed

We saw vast fields of time's immortal flowers
Ablaze beneath the pale Alaskan sun
...

Rain Prayer

I petitioned you for a deluge, did not pray
For the briefest shower or some paltry drops
...

The Nearing Goal

The dull skies dripping in the morning rain
Cannot obscure the beauty of the trees,
...

Changing Seasons

Feel the seasons in the blood of trees,
Ever changing, rest in the waning year,
...

Bluebird II

I listen to his mating call
Aware he is no bird at all,
...

Inviolable Rose

When I allow myself to dream awake,
If I allow myself to dream at all
...

The Mystical Rose

I never knew the rose.
She waited, silent and fair,
...

And I Will Offer Flowers

And I will offer flowers from the garden of my soul,
Blooms of fragrant tenderness, thy radiance to extol,
...

My God II
