Moonlight bounces off the sea,
The only ones are her and she.
Hooves and heart, beat and rhythm,
To one mare her trust is given.
Although I know it’s just a dream,
I still hear the echoes of their scream.
When she rides along the shore,
I become her slave forever more.
With a wild heart beat and thundering feet,
They run where the land and sea do meet.
Her past returns to haunt once more,
As they both try to find what they’re looking for.
Cursed is she to that black, back bare.
That takes her wherever the horse does dare.
They know that carry on they must,
Until this very earth is dust.
In the small town of Horseshoe bay,
All the townsfolk are heard to say,
" Stay off the shore for fear of she,
The Goddess of the deep green sea."
That night as a stranger went I,
To watch beneath a starry sky,
As a horse of the purest darkest black,
Carried her ghostly mistress upon her bare back.
I watched as they thundered into the sea,
The last one to see the pair was me.
Storms now shift the sea and sand,
And no horse or mistress ride the land.
