Moonlit Ride


The moon was out in all Her glory
Luminating bubbles of soft white light through the silhouetted palms
The snaking road unraveling itself to me
Opening up gently as a lover opens his arms anticipating a soft embrace
A peaceful breeze kisses my face as I glide through sleepy villages.

I weave through the fields as if weaving time itself,
The fireflies dance in the darkness, sparkling like slowly falling stars
I listen intently to the sounds of nocturnal bliss over-toned by my motorcycle's hum.
The machine is responsive to my every move
As if it has now become a part of me
Fully trusting
I am free, I am flying
Warm tears of bliss fall gracefully down my cheeks
As I now understand the sheer ecstasy of riding this two wheeled miracle.
I want to ride forever as far as the roads will take me and back again.
