Songwriting challenge issued by Sharon Goldman, starting with the prompt "bicycle."
My Bicycle
The sheep look when I pass the farm
Startled reverie
I whirl past trees and birds and ponds
My bicycle and me

She takes me on some wild trips
My solitary friend
And when I’m done and had my fix
I come back home again

Chorus:
It’s the breeze
feeling free
just my bicycle and me
I’m am flying

Storm clouds threaten sun above
Wind starts blowing fast
I’m still far from those I love
Want this ride to last

But I don’t feel that worried
Perhaps that childlike trust
My bicycle’s been good to me
So I’m not feeling rushed

Chorus

I still remember how I cleaned her
Kept her in good shape
Parked in the garage just waiting
For our next escape

It’s been years and now my bike is
Exercise and might
And I long to capture again
That sense of just pure flight

Chorus
