There are spirits that in quiet walk Upon my soul in whispered tone All leaving footprints and their mark Upon the dreams that now are shown A mist eludes their path of been Not darkness, nor a light to see They walk their journey ever forward And as they do, befriending me Of ancient times and mystic way They chant and in alliance dance As fires of their past all burn In wonder I enjoy the trance Nomads in my land of thought Befriending both my soul and muse These wanderers that tell and sort The many thoughts that still confuse They question where my soul has been Its journey here and where is home And who the many it has seen And who the faces it had known Together sharing time and bond With tales of tell and what had been The journey’s start and what’s beyond My picture wall of what they'd seen I rest now here in open mind Among the thoughts of spirit rest And in their presence I now find That quiet times become my best |

This was an absolute pleasure to read and not only because of the composition but because of the content. I want to say, "By Jove, he's got it" because you well and truly have but then again we can't suddenly get what we've always had. You tell "it" remarkably well so thank you for that. Helen |

Of ancient times and mystic way They chant and in alliance dance As fires of their past all burn In wonder I enjoy the trance And I certainly enjoyed the telling. *S* Excellent!! |

Rick, I always know that you will tie up your poems perfectly with your closing stanzas. "I rest now here in open mind Among the thoughts of spirit rest And in their presence I now find That quiet times become my best" ~ Ya see!?! ~ PERFECTLY!!!   Linda |

The title drew me in and with each verse I was drawn deeper. Wonderful penning here and one that I can really get lost in. Nice flow, captivating from beginning to end and just pure peaceful pleasure to read. |
