In Forest Green

Long shadows fall cool
	across the twisting road
the curves out of view
	hidden by tall green trees

unseen birds are singing
	their songs soft in the air
leaves a gentle rustle
	blown by the slow breeze

a distant rumble heard
	growing louder now
of something coming
	towards me on the road

through the distant trees
	bright chrome flashes quickly seen
and pure white flickers
	fast coming down the road

bursting quickly into view
	leaning into the curb
a rider all in white
	on a chrome bike

piercing eyes of blue
	auburn hair toss in the wind
the soft curves of the rider
	straight lines of the bike

roaring as flashing by a
	deafening the sound
the air barely stirrers
	Jasmine and Rose fills the breeze
going quickly by
	turning with the curve
in a moment done
	as the rumble fades away
