Never-ending Road

I'm in a mood tonight. It's not a bad mood. It's a good mood. It's not exactly the gleeful and giddy type of happiness. Mostly it is just content. Calm. Peaceful. Meditative. Maybe it is the atmosphere. It is nighttime now. It has been raining so the air smells wonderful. It is cool but not cold. It is a calm and relaxed feeling. Yet there is also the feeling of deep love and longing. But there is peace and not restlessness. I don't know how else to explain it without getting repetitive. Maybe that is the beauty of it--the fact that it can't really be explained. I've been listening to Loreena McKennitt's "Never-ending Road" and this song captures what I am feeling right now. The lyrics are beautiful and it is even more beautiful when you hear her sing the song. I wish I had the talent to write something this deep.

The road now leads onward ~ As far as can be
Winding lanes ~ And hedgerows in threes
By purple mountains ~ And round every bend
All roads lead to you ~ There is no journey's end

Here is my heart, I give it to you ~ Take me with you across this land
These are my dreams, so simple, so few ~ Dreams we hold in the palm of our hands

Deep in the winter ~ Amidst falling snow
High in the air ~ Where the bells they all toll
And now all around me ~ I feel you still here
Such is the journey ~ No mystery to fear

Here is my heart, I give it to you ~ Take me with you across this land
These are my dreams, so simple, so few ~ Dreams we hold in the palm of our hands

It now leads onward ~ I know not where
I feel in my heart ~ That you will be there
Whenever a storm comes ~ Whatever our fears
The journey goes on ~ As your love ever nears

Here is my heart, I give it to you ~ Take me with you across this land
These are my dreams, so simple, so few ~ Dreams we hold in the palm of our hands
