Forgotten Ground Regained

Song-singing

Tom Pain
In Forgotten Ground Regained, Issue 9, Winter 2026 Psalms and Meditations
I was awayFor your final breath, I found your soulnow song-singing. The sounds of minewere mourning music, mind-torn grief.
Songs sent · sought your spirit.Keep in company · and comfortwhile walking · the winding roadMy sounds softened, our sprits warming.
My sounds beside · your soul soaring.Mirthful music · melancholy eased,tracing the tracks · tread again.All kind must keep, come their time.
Two tune-making, until it nearsthe bridge bellowing, brook yelling.No more I move; you must crossto come upon kith · and kin long lost
Across the creek · I cannot follow.Find yourself free · from all cares.All bonds binding · are broken,all bonds bound · are beaten.
The path you paced, for me placed:I will trace tracks · that you tread.So when my soul · singing-song,hear and hearken; to me heed.
Across yon bridge, you wait for me.
