Hound of Heaven Hymns - Two acrostics of remembrance

Poetry list

Two acrostics of remembrance

Written hastily as I led a workshop: 'Remembrance ~ Imprints on the soul'

Rather would I have known that
Every day that has flown
Means that love is fleeting and
Eternal: the past submerged by
Mysterious time is not lost but
Beckons to bless not as a word out of
Earshot but as an imprint of God
Risked to live in the scars of my soul

Reverberating deep within me
Energy that was and shall be
Muting strident chords of now
Even every why and how
Making sense of treasures lost
Broken hearts and painful cost
REMEMBER
At the last these shall be gifts
Never lost to Him who lifts
Clouds of dark forgetting sadness
Erasing all but Love’s true gladness
