Hound of Heaven Hymns

ruthless

the title should be repeated before each stanza

is the love
that is left
seeking your
warmth and
embrace

is the hollow
emptiness
of each moment
scoured of its
meaning

is the day
that follows
day when
the sun forgets
the dawn

is the waiting
for your return
and the road
which keeps me
from you

is the call
to carry on
be busy move
on find new make do
without you

is the world
that has forgotten
or half–remembered at best
your beauty and
your being

is the life
strangled by
death and
heartlessly
cast adrift

is the voice
unspoken amidst
the teeming chatter
and endless noise
just silence

is the cold
that chills and
freezes unawares
my core
cruel ice

is the clock
that ticks
away a future
barren and bereft
of you
