Bringing it Home

(for Edward)

I ride into the bright sunshine

Push against the strong wind

Glide within the soothing shade that lets me see

And I am loved by all of these

And by the sweet air

And by the soft seas

I bring the love of all these lovers

Home to you

You’ll see it in my eyes

And smell it in my skin and hair

You’ll take me in your arms

And they will be there

And they will make you want them

As they make you want me

We all will flow together

As it should be

So with my many lovers

I am still true

Enriched to be with them

And bring it home to you.
