Biking

I have had many a dream were i flew

Only to wake up with the knowledge i was a grounded bird

going down a big hill so fast is the closest i can get to flying.

Closest i can get to being free

putting my arms out like they are wing

and i am going down a hill all alone in the country side.

Tempted to close my eyes for a second 

to feel the wind on face for a second to believe i am flying 

the speed that you move at makes you feel free

like you are running away from something

you have wanted to get away from.

Our daily hectic lives can be nuts and overwhelming

but ther is some true peace to be found being alone

and moving fast on those two wheels or rubber  

powered only by your muscles and will to be free.
