Untitled Poem by Eberhard Arnold

Untitled



Drifting, trembling,
aching voice –
alone in the universe
echoless.

Foreboding remembrance –
wounded hearts’ pain –
outburst of anguished
souls rent in twain.

Driven by obsessions,
dragged to the ground –
brought into the light:
freed! unbound!

Rescue, save
the foundering ship.
Chains, be loosed –
leaden weights, slip.

Freedom: strength
of victorious forces –
streaming sap
of creative sources.

Blazing sun
that ends dark hours –
joyous bliss
of loving powers.

Up from the deep,
from the central fire,
in cosmic union,
stars rise higher.

Loving souls
with radiant eyes –
once deathly ill,
now worthy and wise.

Love toward all,
oneness in One –
steadfast and pure,
for his sake alone.


Sannerz, December 1926
