Moments

Moments upon the loom of time woven
Eternally imprinted 'pon the print
Memories cling, never spent, now frozen
Operate the loom, change design's intent

Reverse the hands of time memories change
Invert the negative read love's design
Everlasting His perfect will's plan 
Slipped, falling into sin man was resigned

Offer life up as a living sacrifice
Follow Him away from sins' tangling lure 
Let love reign over heart, flee avarice
Oarsman of my craft let me in thee moor

Values of this life now become peace, love
Eternally woven threads draw close my Dove

Yes, I do love the way you finished this lovely write my friend! You have accomplished what so few have, a perfect poem! Your words accompany such great emotion, I can picture myself right in the midst of this piece! I also like what you have done with the words you have created by the first letters of each line, "Memories of Love" Beautiful! It fits the poem perfectly! I loved reading this write completely this morning! What a grandiose piece, Great Work!!

I really enjoyed this write my friend! I can't wait to see the finished version! You could have the 4th line of the 3rd stanza end with "endure" you could try something with that last word if you'd like, just a thought that's all! What a tremendous piece, Great Work!!
