I ride a coal, black horse
Reins held tight, in fright
I ride to doom or worse
While swiftly falls the night

The night grows close and still
I'm riding ever on
No memory of ill
No whisper of a song

I ride through dreams of hope
Back to the days of yore
Just riding on to cope
Forgetting what it's for

A nightmare ride I take
Through dark that covers light
And dreams of good forsake
While riding through the night

I ride till dawn draws near
This coal black horse of dream
And hide my hope in fear
The night will see me scream

I ride a coal black horse
With stars upon its side
It steals my life by force
And bids me now to ride

Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind.  Unknown

This poem is Beautiful...it took me on a ride of dreams and visions...a little sadness but I put my own twist on it and made the ride magical...Thank you...
