Time stretched out upon the sand
Endless tan lines bronze the land
Swept away in ivory trance
Accommodations made for chance

Embroiled chase of minds appeal
Luxurious of leathers feel
On skins of subtle motions sway
Behind the drive a chase away

The miles spent pass by content
Held tighter in sublime ascent
The view from here so sleek a fear
Aside the road that led us here

The kickstand down behold the heart
Discovery made in nature’s art
Exploring deep in raspberry trails
Intoxicating wildflower veils

The moon bows broad a summer smile
Your touch the crown of traveled mile
The grasses soft beneath low light
Where you and I blend know tonight

This was a wonderful adventure, there is nothing like a bike trip to remind me of how fabulous getting away from it all can be. Good job.

Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind.  Unknown

And the spirit soars...as the winds sail
by the ear and eyes squint to see....

A marvelous ride,  and the beach sounds
fantabulous...

T.D. I like the lyrical rhythm of this, the images present, especially the tan lines upon the land. I do have to say I don't understand the 3rd line of the 3rd stanza and the last line of the poem. Can you help me out?

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.
