Elapsed in Time

I rode the trail in warmth of sun,
watched the shadows play before.
A silhouette had joined my side
and whispered thoughts of learning more.

And so, I entertained his words
with answers mine, returned in smiles.
It wasn't long before we reached
a length of trail, marked ten, of miles.

The breeze of riding kept me cool,
while ease of talk made time fly by.
We stopped by stream to catch our breath
and laughed when joking in reply.

~~*~~
Today I found the calm within,
enjoyed expressions reaching out.
Tomorrow is another day,
another ride, another route.

Tonight I go to poet's read
exercising my thoughts in rhyme,
hoping that they'll understand
the heart of me, elapsed in time.

~~M~~

Thank you...I was sort of uplifted yesterday.
The weather was perfect for a bike ride along the old railroad bed.
