My Ride
I love my bicycle.
Not to race, but to ride.
My legs turn and churn
Mile after mile without a plan.
It clears my brain so thoughts can enter.
Thoughts of brilliance,
Thoughts of trifles,
Thoughts to be forgotten.
I approach a hill
To soar towards the sky.
Climb, climbing, climb, climbing.
I can't turn back now.
Ascending, rising.
No thoughts exist anymore.
Only pain.
But I will not surrender!
At the top comes the reward.
Rocketing down the slope.
Eyes watering from the wind,
Praying I stay upright.
I travel through the denouement,
Arrive at home again.
I survived!
Where do I ride tomorrow?
Wherever it takes me.
