A Review
Remembrance of Him
You are never alone,
even in the absence of another soul.
When stillness fills the air,
and the deafening sounds of despair sing,
remember inside of you,
lives the Holy King.
As I learn to re-appreciate poetry, something four years of high school and five years of college stole from my soul fifty years ago, I have stumbled on another collection of free verse that has touched my heart.
Many of these pieces remind me that there is pain in loss - whether it be for a short while or for longer periods of time. The pain is real, but at the same time we are reminded that when one has left, they have also returned home.
If the reader is looking for a rhythm or a rhyme, these poems will (mostly) not provide those elements. But if the reader is looking for pieces that will touch the heart and help them find feelings they may have lost. this collection of poetry will do that. They will take the reader through their pain to the throne of God while preparing the reader for another day. For this, I give this 150-page book five stars.
