Riding the Storm
with the front tyre worn,
more ragged with each turn of the wheel
with the bowed chain clattering
in my mind it is not mattering,
with wet hair peeled back from my eyes;
Late spring rain,
all dressed up,
so snug as a bug in a rug I feel,
Another problem arises I ask myself why,
I lift up my chin & wonder reassured
no one wants to drink from my cup;
Shoulder into the rubber, throttle not making me bored,
Than up like a bird on the wing having soared
final destination I make it that's good
Then if I can make it through dinner,
I can make it through pudding.

WOW!!! Such an intriguing perspective you've written here, I am dazzled by the way you express yourself, your talent shines in your voice! It felt like you were navigating across choppy thoughts in the ocean of your mind, then you were like the seagull flying for freedom into the enchanted garden of your heart! (smiles) Thank you for this marvelous trip! I enjoyed it greatly! And when I get the chance, I too will savor the pudding of enlightenment! (smiles) You have such a beautiful heart, dear friend, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Some interesting abstract thoughts here... really enjoyed it.

I guess life is like a banquet with its various courses once we finish the main meal we get dessert

"Build a man a fire, he'll be warm for a day. Set a man on fire and he'll be warm for the rest of his life". Terry Pratchett
