Reading Savitri By Candlelight Poem by Richard (Narad) Eggenberger

Reading Savitri by Candlelight


Reading Savitri by candlelight
I chanced upon a line that lifted me
Beyond myself and then my soul took flight
And reached the borders of infinity.

I saw the stars harmonious and bright
Blazing with the radiance of love,
Striking out all darkness till the night
Was filled with beauty and from those worlds above

I dove into my body without pain
And saw the earth anew, inhaled her air
Grateful to touch the scented soil again
Upon this spinning globe so blue, so fair.

From consciousness to consciousness arise,
Ye children of the dawn with diamond eyes.
