What a Night For a Ride!

Got all leathered up
threw leg over, fired up
trusted iron horse, ready to roll.
Lighting flash, thunder boom
engine snarl, Mama’s purring
off to dodge raindrops, we go.

Ride over to the highway
discussing, deciding to get wet
kicking scooter thru a few gears.
Rain stinging on up front face
lil dustpuffs coming off colors
raindrops suddenly hit home.

Fully alive, first time in days
lightning blazes, traces the sky
dancing, electro-frying a few flyers.
His thunder drowns out our thunder
Arms open wide, wheels swimming
God, it’s good to share this rain!

Finally, at home once again
peeling off soaking wetness
pouring out poor ole boots.
Laughing as we fall to bed
drying off under the sheets
what a night for a ride!

Wow Daniel,

A wonderful visual experience! I've love a ride on the back of a bike with the rain coming down. Reminds me of my high school days, enjoying the warm summer rain in Wisconsin.

Love,
Patricia
