Riding on Thunder

Rolling thunder down the road

Down the Fours for evermore


Riding the I4 and 408

Pavement passes underneath his feet


Revving the throttle and kicking the horse

Cruising past cars left in his wake


Motorcycle man is at it again

Making time to see his children and get to work


Going to the gym and then grad school

The sun glimmering off his skin


He leaves in the morning

And comes home at night



The wind in his face

Keeps him cool in flight


Long days for this traveler

Takes up all his might


Only to burn the midnight oil

Chasing midnight dreams


Writing books and poetry

At times it seems insane


Dawn coming through the windows

Before he’s able to put the pen down again


Without much sleep he's back on his horse

Riding down the road on thunder again..........
