Crystalline Memories
Virginia Salter

I stepped there
into the sand, the warm,
sun-bathed sand
and felt the pebbles of eternity
ground into crystalline memories
of He, who surely walked,
likewise, beside the sea
thinking thoughts of harmony
that would come from the gift of His very life.
His living eternally
to be the salve between our painful remorse
and the healing provided through His stripes, His scars,
the imprints of us all,
there, in the palms of His hands,
in the hole in His side,
in the forever steps we’ve taken
to mar the beauty of His feet,
the thoughts and plans
acted or merely dreamed-
evident fully in the piercings upon His brow,
the weight of our heartache
and His own,
upon His shoulders,
as He walked the Way of Sorrows,
with but one motive in His heart
to provide a way for us to once again
come to the Father,
to commune,
to live
in
His everlasting
Love

I like this so much! Great job. How about the last line for the title: His Everlasting Love??

For some reason the thought comes to me about the poem "Footprints." And this poem here making it as big and widely known as the Footprints one. Like I said, this is a thought that entered my mind as I read it. I don't claim to see the future.

This was a wonderful poem!!!!
