Where Kindred Spirits Meet Poem by Richard (Narad) Eggenberger

Where Kindred Spirits Meet

Your clouds of doubt obscure the sun of your love
As if a diamond still encased in coal,
Its rays of light unable to penetrate
The density of its dark surround,
Unless love grow in strength the tests to stand
Of all the hostile forces that deny,
All hope is lost and we are left alone
As on a bridge that leads to the unknown,
A sad humanity devoid of grace
Unknowing that the truth within each soul
Can shatter darkness and release to light
The golden resident within this shell
We call the ‘self' unaware of who we are.
"Go deeper" once a voice said to me
For we in heroic struggle are not alone,
To live in radiance is why we came
And why we persevere against the tides
Of hopelessness, mistrust and enmity
That wash upon the shores of consciousness.
If you would once refuse the siren call
Of voices that assault your mind and heart
You would be freeand in that freedom find
A comrade soul who stayed throughout the storm,
A steadfast friend and anchor in the sea
Of all misgivings, the depths of all despair,
Safe harbour and the beacon to the land
Where kindred spirits meet in harmony.

To a Young Person who suffered.
