Far in the days of gentle seek I hold you close in tender keep You wander out and wander far Under the touch of silvery star The moon does bath in glorious moonbeam As you float in the land of ancient dream What be real and what be not You might as well untangle Gordian knot Or slice it clean in Alexander’s way And believe in what was, in another day Take what is given in gentle feel Then you may know the touch of real If what you had, is now so lost Then examine the coin that you do toss For you may find, counterfeit it be And another path is open to thee So take the hand that does extend And walk the roads of once again |

If what you had, is now so lost Then examine the coin that you do toss For you may find, counterfeit it be And another path is open to thee So take the hand that does extend And walk the roads of once again ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Logan...And walk the roads of once again. I am at a loss for words at the moment, but wanted to respond to you. There is something about this last stanza which brought tears to my eyes,...something all too familiar....I'll get back to you on it....enjoyed so much. Thank you dear gentle man. ~hugs, Nancy~ ~Time has cast a spell on you, |

Take what is given in gentle feel Then you may know the touch of real If what you had, is now so lost Then examine the coin that you do toss For you may find, counterfeit it be And another path is open to thee So take the hand that does extend And walk the roads of once again ================================== wise words from someone who has walked many roads... may they all rise up to meet you  your wrap us in rhyme divine and teach us to read between the lines well done sweet keeper...your fire burns bright and warms all who sit beside you. This distance has shown how the road remains alone |

What I say might seem repetitive, but it's the truth (I guess I shld just try to polish up my vocabulary :P) This poem is in some way really touching, and what u wrote in the last para, it gives one so much hope. That there really is an alternative path, even when u r and have lost. |

Don't we know the many that this will touch, for those that believe of other times experienced, will surely draw much from the fact that they are not alone... a touching read...thank you for this.... |
