Breath Sounds

Source inspiration: Ps 100:1-5 (NIV)

¹Shout for joy to the LORD, all the earth. ²Worship the LORD with gladness; come before him with joyful songs. ³Know that the LORD is God. It is he who made us, and we are his; we are his people, the sheep of his pasture. ⁴Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name. ⁵For the LORD is good and his love endures forever; his faithfulness continues through all generations.

Riders and saints,

Let’s ride!

Mile after mile;

Handlebar in hand;

With hydration on demand.

Pedaling and pacing;

At times coasting.

Let the ride be

Lean rawhide;

Free of pride,

Translucent;

Wet it; dry it;

Reshape it.

Edify and tan it

With faith and wisdom.

Breathless breath sounds;

Steady pacing;

Grunt energy bursting;

Sometimes shouting; hooting;

Breath taking.

Stir it up!

Hydration;

Inspiration;

Perspiration;

Evaporation.

Repeating cycle.

Ride defined;

Listen inspired.

Silence of breathing.

Moment of transfiguration.

A joyful noise,

Inhalation; inspiration.

Exhalation; exhaltation.

Mountain cycle.

True characters revealed;

In rocky, unstable terrain.

Wheels spinning true;

Frame creaks and sqeaks;

Anointed chain smooth shifting;

Tubeless no leaks.

Up above; beyond sky blue.

In open space,

He speaks.

Ride in open space,

In silence be heard;

With every inspiration,

Breath sound,

Seek and we are found.

Be blessed and kept.
