In Motion

My foot rests on the brake
Hands tightly grip the wheel
Reluctantly, I release
My foot flinches to the right-
ready, but scared
It puts pressure on the gas
and I am moving forward

Steadily, I flow into a world unknown to this heart
The complete sense of peace overwhelms my smile

Peace
Joy
Rest
All I have sought,
yet never before enjoyed this much
Leaves dance around swaying trees
Sondre soothes my ears
This is bliss

There was no plan-
no premeditation-
no goal
Just foot to pedal
Foot to pedal
And I was off
Onto a road of joy
of rest and of peace

You are the greatest Giver
The greatest Mover
Thank You

I love it. You captured a moment in an incredible way. This is so good. I like that you used colour as a means of expression mixed with your words. This is truly a beautiful poem. I love the repetition of "foot to pedal."
Jess, this is awesome.
