Life is a journey...
A trip
more important
than the destination.
And like a journey
we have many ways
of traveling.
Some of us want comfort.
Give us a vehicle
of almost boring consistency.
Conditioned air...
sound proofing...
and an ultra soft ride.
Keep the outside away.
A bland but safe existance
Some of us want to fake it
in our four by four machine
Rough & Tough we tell the world
while we never leave the main roads
to leave the crowds.
Yeah... "I can take it"
But sure am glad
I don't have to!
Some of us want status.
An emblem on the front
that says:
"I've arrived".
Leather upholsery
and a name of distinction.
Me... Give me a Motorcycle.
Make me part of the world I pass through.
Let me smell the scents...
The wild flowers and
the hog farms.
Let me feel the warmth of the Sun
and embrace the cold.
Keep me off the main highways.
For just like life
it is the hills, the valleys,
and the curves
that makes it worthwhile,
But, let me keep my sanity
because just like life
one must approach the unknown
carefully and cautiously
As in life,
It is a balance between
faking it &
avoiding the curves;
and going too fast &
too far &
ending up in the ditch!
