whynotsin Posted September 5, 2003 Report Posted September 5, 2003 The forms are far spreading, Dear father, Tell me the way, I have lost it. Can you see the depth of my soul My ghost to which I can never escape. The err of my ways. Show me the way, I have lost it. The path before me, Which I so clearly saw, Is now washed away and overgrown The smooth easy road, Over traveled and little repaired, Now sits in disarray. The weeds, The trees, The fire bush and the thistle tree, Growing and consuming, The once easy way. Father please guide me, My eyes are gone, My sorrow deeper then the ocean My mind higher then the stars. Sow the way the path, I want to return home.

Peredhil Posted September 5, 2003 Report Posted September 5, 2003 I hear music in this lament... In the last stanza, perhap "My sorrow is" or "My sorrow's"?
Tattered Posted September 6, 2003 Report Posted September 6, 2003 Humility. And your father wants you to return to him. So have faith and trust in his guidance, and NOT in your own way.
whynotsin Posted September 7, 2003 Author Report Posted September 7, 2003 The path is drawn, upona map, with points leading east, and some leading west. but the years have been long, and men no longer go, through forests, and meadows. Father please show us the way
