Poetry of Georgia Eggers

A loved one lost

By Georgia Eggers

A torn shirt that holds the memories

Those of a man who walked through time

He became a legend that has no end

A broken necklace of a woman scorned

She lived and laughed and is held in the hearts of many

But now those who loved her hear her voice no more

A ragged teddy bear of a playful child

Lost toys found here and there bringing tears

Bare little feet echo where they used to run

Those left behind cry and hope the pain will be calmed

They wonder if those who passed are well and happy

Low spirits find comfort in forgotten memories

In memory of my Grandma Helen

Spring Rain

By Georgia Eggers

Bubbles floating through the trees.

Light swiftly following the willow’s sway.

Rain beating a quiet rhythm.

Squish of stepping feet.

Drip of water falling off of green fingers.

Chirps of bathing birds.

Smells of grass and wet ground.

Dancing leaves spin till the day is calm.

Washing away the mess of yesterdays.

Laughing joy of another day come.
