My forum name comes from a poem I wrote about 20 years ago now. I may change it soon, as I didn't give it much thought when I joined here, and feel its time for a change.
The poem was inspired by riding my motorcycle towards the Tralee mountains (Co Kerry, Ireland) on a beautiful Summers evening. I felt so free, yet part of me knew I wasn't - just one small journey on Life's great adventure! :) It seems kinda corny now, but hey, so what :)
Dreamrider
Minutes, miles and magic moments
fly beneath my wings;
A gentle caress from my leather gloved
hand and listen how she sings.
Dreams in sound and vision start to
manifest in my mind;
But quickly vanish in my life’s slipstream
to the awaiting road behind.
At one with the world, but not with the crowd;
Riding through infinity in my acrid, blue shroud.
An avid believer, that time is a stealer;
And speed in the sun is the ultimate healer.
Thanks for reading :)
