Road

 

Long and wide and undulating,

Stretched out for miles on end

No respite in sight; the middle of the night,

She's the only one; a stranger, my friend

 

The tank is full and she's raring to go,

On and on, for hours on end

Mile after mile; a tired face and a creased smile,

She's the only one; a stranger, my friend

 

Chai and sutta and off we go again,

A journey with an unplanned end

Here and now; Lady Luck, take a bow

She's the only one; a stranger, my friend

 

I live to ride, this is my life

From here until world's end,

My steed and me; a lasting epiphany

She's the only one; no stranger, my friend
