No Reverse

Source inspiration: Phil 3:13-14 (NIV)

¹³Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, ¹⁴I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.

Riders and saints,

Let’s ride!

Between trees hidden.

Reveal tread tracks,

Forward bound ridden;

Singletrack ribbon,

No reverse to be found,

Only tire tread sound.

Epic ride;

Dawn to dusk,

Ride on,

Long, narrow, and steep;

Inch by inch;

Mile after mile;

Grimace with a smile.

So many lines;

Rocky rutty rolling

Weight back;

Drop in.

No reverse;

Forward on.

Graded climb,

Steep incline,

Eternity.

Crest over.

Fast downhill sweep;

Faster than a bird,

Or sound tweet.

Mile after mile;

Pedal and pace

Under His grace;

Kingdom space.

Riding trails builds trust;

As does daily trials; tribulation.

The anointed chain

Prevents rust.

Be blessed and kept.
