Ride It

Up, up arduous hills Coasting down feeling the thrills Through the forest and back to asphalt Navigating this earthly plane that god wrought Boldy bending curves Keeping it steady, no swerves Coasting the electric light highways Meticulously plodding the murky byways Hanging on meandering roads Just riding and shaking the load Oh, rocky roads go bumpity bump Holding fast through the thumps Swampy lands, please travel too Be it night or day, see yourself come through Don't hide it Just ride it Ride freely Enjoy abundantly In and through the rain, ride The benevolent sun is shining on the otherside

For sure, be brave. We were not put on this earth to fail...but to overcome the Lesser Self. Great Road Trip. Reading this fine work, I felt that I was a young man again, motorcycle purring, leaning into the curves on mountain roads. Love it!
