Alive: A Poem

Posted by Beki on Oct 14, 2014 in Poetry | 0 comments

Windows down, music up
I feel my thoughts drifting
Who cares where this old road leads
I feel my spirits lifting
nothing but the big blue sky
Stretched out ahead of me
Nothing but an open road
as far as I can see
So I drive
My spirit comes alive when I drive
Wind in my hair makes me feel alive
So I drive

Legs grip tight, hands in mane
I feel the mare shifting
A signal from me will set her free
and we’ll be off, racing
nothing but the big blue sky
Stretched out ahead of me
Nothing but an open field
as far as I can see
So I ride
My spirit comes alive when I ride
Wind in my hair makes me feel alive
So I ride

I need the sun on my face
I need a wide open space
I need the smell of the trees
Floating in on the breeze
I need the wind in my hair
Nothing will compare
To when I drive
To when I ride
