life surges
thru tendrils of tethered tenderness
ambered terra rosa pulsing with the need for sun
SUN
bolstered to earth by gravity & axil tilt & speed
we ride
life surges
and
across our aging, freckled & pale skin
the furrows & rivulets of passion & presence tremble & taunt us to rise
despite the swollen tubers of tissue & undergrowth
gasping for air as some newborn with pink silk folding
we greet the first strong rays of Spring's promise
standing upon cold ground -
soil & life beats beats beats along filling the narrowed cavities of our bones
with lightening, solitude, knowing, desire, youth, fragility & forgiveness
we fill
we breathe
we ride
tasting of morning & the solar flares of our own Spring
our own green life
surges ...
