Life Spurs

My friend Tom Beck on his 1946 Indian at 2009 'Soquel Motorcycle Festival'

Life Spurs
9/3/09

We're being ridden,
are the ride
and rider also,
though there's pause
to survey direction
or re-adjust saddle
evaluate our position
while aligning posture,
it's still considered
essential in sequence
within whole journey,
even when dismounting
setting up homestead
making a stand
rooting in ground,
there is motion
forever changing circumstance
to test balance
challenge one's stamina
as to if
core courage nature
can endure hardship,
brambles, thorns, cuts,
when blazing path
through unknown territory
boldly persevering as
life spurs on.
