Things That Were There

The Things That Were There by Abraham Reymond is a collection of poetic meditations on ordinary objects that have witnessed extraordinary truths.A stone that no longer blocks a tomb.A lamp without oil.A door left unopened.A measuring line, a watchtower, a reed pen, a city gate.These poems do not rush to explain. They stand still. They watch. They remember.Drawing from biblical imagination and spiritual reflection, this book listens to the silent testimony of things that were present when decisions were made, when mercy was delayed, when hope arrived, and when absence learned to speak.This is not a book of arguments.It is a book of witnesses.Written in calm, precise, and contemplative language, The Things That Were There invites readers to slow down, to see again, and to discover that sometimes the quietest objects carry the heaviest truths.
