TO YOUR LOVE   

Part One

  

1

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

2

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

 

3

 

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

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

 

5

 

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

 

6

 

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

 

7

 

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

 

8

 

Often I have plunged

Into the depths of forgetfulness

Only to find

That your face

Is ever before me

I am riding to your love

 

9

 

The scent of the sand

Calls to me

The dream

I want you near

Never to go away

I am riding to your love

 

10

 

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

 

11

 

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

 

12

 

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

13

 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

14

 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

15

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

 

16

 

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

 

17

 

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

 

18

 

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

 

19

 

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
