TO YOUR LOVE   

Part One

  

I

It is the night

I am riding

My horse is black

Her shoes throw sparks

On the rocky road

I am riding to your love

II

My heart is pounding

Like the thundering hooves beneath me

Shattering the silence of the darkness

Speaking my urgency to the wind

The fire of love burns in my heart

And I am riding to your love

 

III

 

I travel at a wild pace

Yet the world is still

The stars direct my path

Among the shadows

Desperately I seek you

I am riding to your love

IV

Each moment brings me closer

I rush impatiently past the memories

The sky cries out

A tune of drumming sounds

Far ahead the sea

And I am riding to your love

 

V

 

There is no escape

The truth floods my heart

I exist for that unspoken moment

When we shall join

In the dawn of our love’s awakened beauty

And I am riding to your love

 

VI

 

Time gives way

I will catch up to you

The rendezvous at sea

The boat at anchor

The journey to begin

I am riding to your love

 

VII

 

My horse, he knows the desire I feel

Charging into and beyond his endurance

Hooves attacking the ground

The miles fly by

Soon...

I am riding to your love

 

VIII

 

Often I have plunged

Into the depths of forgetfulness

Only to find

That your face

Is ever before me

And I am riding to your love

 

IX

 

The scent of the sand

Calls to me

The dream

I want you near

Never to go away

I am riding to your love

 

X

 

My heart is a vast ocean

Where my emotions are simply tides

Always rising and falling…always caressing…pulling back

Just in time to keep from loosing

The rhythm…of love

And I am riding to your love

 

XI

 

The road has been long

Since last I saw you

So beautiful

The ground speaks to me

The trees fly by

I am riding to your love

 

XII

 

The spell of the night is breaking

The darkest hour passes

The decision coming fast

The crossroads

The tide will allow no error

I am riding to your love

XIII

 I am out of the forest

Ahead the sand dunes

I smell the sea

The waves upon the shore

The bay is deep two hundred feet

I am riding to your love

XIV

High cliffs overlook

The boat she waits

Where wind and tide meet

Many forces have joined

In the making of this day

And I am riding to your love

 

XV

 

The road winds

The cliff edge is close

No moment can be lost

Rocks can be heard falling

Sand and sea stretch out below

I have ridden for your love

 

XVI

 

The Sun mounts the maiden sky

Drops of sweat bead upon my skin

My eyes search for you

Mist and wind move

I must find you

I am riding to your love

 

XVII

 

My feet touch the ground

The ancient earth welcomes me

I climb to the outermost point of the cliff

My love and my faith are one

I have come for you

I am riding to your love

 

XVIII

 

The salted air slaps at me

I breathe in the promise of the day

Your taste...your smell

All are locked in my memory

I see you

And I am riding to your love

 

XIX

 

I see you!

Racing miles below

I see you!

You take my breath away

The sun slowly rises through the mist

I am riding to your love

 

 

 

End of Part One
