Saluting with misty eyes

0 posted 2005-03-27 08:22 PM



I am the guide into the Labyrinth
Leading the paths
Through the fog
Through the rain
Through the frozen wastelands of time
Spanning the ages
Beyond the reason
Beyond the flame
Gathering the flock of the lost souls
Warming my love
Into my heart
Into my soul
I am the guide to the Labyrinth
Follow my lead
Into my life
Into my home


I was reading some of Jim Morrison's poetry this evening, and the line "I am the guide to the labyrinth" struck a chord... this is the result.

In the wooden chair
Beside my window
I wear a face born in the falling rain

This, Ringo, is the guide
to the in and out of life...
you did a great job here...
of working the young throughout
the maze...

Thanks again for all of your kind words. I think I might actually get the hang of this writing thing someday. lol

I can appreciate the words

They have meant so much to people that even those who have never heard of him, utter his words

One book even has his singing and person as a main character

Good words

Dave
