Cobblestone turns to dirt and dirt to sand.
The sun scorches, then leaves the air to the bitter cold.
My common sense over ruled by my intense passion.

The storms beat upon my chest and blinds my eyes
to the path set before me.
I shall ware my feet to their limit
To travel distances not meant for man to walk.
I will sail where even the wildest rivers
fear to run through.

The unfaithfulness of the night, claims the day
And screams it's silence into my ears.
But unscaled mountains will rue the day
They met the likes of me.
For i pass with ease athwart their lofty peaks.
Wearied, yet I do not cease until my rest is upon your shoulders.

My devotion knows no restraints and fears no boundaries
And true to my word,
Until I have felt your fire burn within mine
and I am joined with you....
I SHALL MOVE ON

  Thank you for the kind words. I have been told that my endings are powerful. Sort of like a suprise ending. I guess if enough people tell you something....

You know I always love your words. This struck me especially close. ~hugs~
Hope to read more of you soon, this definitly gets my vote.
