Night Bike Ride

I like to ride my BMX at night......

 

Full moon has risen, burning bright

Illuminating these dark streets at night

Bugs will chirp and sing their song

Make soft noise all the evening long

As small fat tires roll under feet

iPod blaring heavy beat

Down darkened paths of suburban maze

In April night’s dark blue haze

Gleaming tires beneath streetlight

Making headway through the night

Across the town and through the park

Rolling swiftly cutting through the dark

Down silent streets like prowler roam

To all the longer pathways home

And think and see and roll and go

Yet disconnected from all I know

I am so there, yet am so far

Rolling beneath the distant stars

Moon is full and lights the way

Away from the path of the ended day

Onward, forward, into the night

On black BMX, I roll out of sight…

Very good rhyming, the flow was nice...but it did seem to stumble a bit toward the end. I do like the imagery, one can almost feel the night air.
