Ride On

True you ride the finest hourse I’ve ever seen
Standing sixteen, one or two, with eyes wild and green
You ride the horse so well, hands light to the touch
I could never go with you no matter how I wanted to
Ride on, see you, I could never go with you
No matter how I wanted to
When you ride into the night without a trace behind
Run your claw along my gut, one last time
I turn to face an empty space, where you used to lie
And look for a spark that lights the night
Through a teardrop in my eye
(Christy Moore)

It was like a church to me.
I entered it on soft foot,
Breath held like a cap in the hand.
It was quiet.
What God was there made himself felt,
Not listened to, in clean colours
That brought a moistening of the eye,
In movement of the wind over grass.
There were no prayers said. But stillness
Of the heart’s passions — that was praise
Enough; and the mind’s cession
Of its kingdom. I walked on,
Simple and poor, while the air crumbled
And broke on me generously as bread.

Lady, climb on up
And leave behind those tears
xxxxxThe running stream
xxxxxThe silent scream
Lady, climb on up
Independent of those fears
That man alone can surface
xxxx“Am I not lovable?”
Echoing, on and on
xxxx“Am I not lovable?”
Echoing, in the canyon of abyss
Lady, climb on up
And move beyond the fantasy
The warrior upon his horse,
Sword in hand,
Who fights for you,
His treasured one,
-Precious, cherished –
Worth risking all
For a priceless Pearl
True Love
Lady, climb on up
Up into Reality
Leaving childish thoughts behind
xxxxx“I am not lovable.”
Experience speaks
Cared for, liked, but never enough
The wrong girl; the wrong time
The bottom line,
When all’s said and done,
Is Loss
Love demands everything
Love demands sacrifice.
So, climb on
And cling to the Rock of your salvation
Alone.
