As I ride through spots of shade and sunlight
Bamboo groves forming an endless archway
I sail into a garden of butterflies ... in hues of green and yellow ..
Bamboo groves forming an endless archway
I sail into a garden of butterflies ... in hues of green and yellow ..
fluttering about in hundreds.
Yellow leaves like gold specks so gentley float down...
to the earth from those mammoth tamarind trees
Peeking through the branches at the deep blue sky
as I ride through this boulevard of massive trunks....
A smile, it curls my lips, as a sense of belonging settles in....
Red soil on my boots....dirt on my pants
Grease on my hands, a constant smile on my face
Moments of peace .....moments ...a pause in thoughts....blank as a slate...
And then the music begins......she sings a song ...that's hard to resist......
The thump... it preaches to me ....a rhythm
a feeling too easy...too simple....you cant but give in....
I ride on...on black roads... like a snake, all curves and curls
Untill I reach a valley with wide open roads....
Vast skies teaming with clouds...
In an ocean of windmills ....tall and white
Untill I reach a valley with wide open roads....
Vast skies teaming with clouds...
In an ocean of windmills ....tall and white
Gathering strength against the bellowing winds
A candy in mouth....a song on my mind
I ride on ....I ride on...
As the sun sets...a walk in the rain through the noise and craft
A smoke in hand as I head back to warmth
A smoke in hand as I head back to warmth
A bite so spicy....a sip so cold
Gather warmth from the fire burning
Rain drops slpash in through the open doors
Gather warmth from the fire burning
Rain drops slpash in through the open doors
Like jewels the city dazzles from the valley beneath
With thunder, lighting and rain galore
As the daybreaks... sunlight seeps through the broken window pane
Ambers still glow softly in the fireplace
The air smells sweet, a pair of red whiskered bulbuls chase each other around merrily
Bare feet all damp from the dew on the grass.....
A barrage of colours...full blooms and buds
Ambers still glow softly in the fireplace
The air smells sweet, a pair of red whiskered bulbuls chase each other around merrily
Bare feet all damp from the dew on the grass.....
A barrage of colours...full blooms and buds
As I look down into the valley .....perched on my stone....
With warm hands around me.....I see the mist rolling in....
Barely gather a glimpse of the village beneath....smoke rising from the chimneys
The clouds settle in.....a layer spread so far ..so thick
Barely gather a glimpse of the village beneath....smoke rising from the chimneys
The clouds settle in.....a layer spread so far ..so thick
A sight to frame as the clouds roll in and my eyes see a world
between the two skies, above and below... from brooding dark to a bright white.
I don my boots...my gloves...my helmet and all
My bags are packed...my bike's warmed up
Its time to get on the road....
Pop a candy in mouth and smile all over again
Its time to head back..in rain or sun
I ride on ...i ride on
I ride on ...i ride on
