🔥 “Steel & Spirit on Highway One”
(A biker-prayer poem for Mike and every rider who ever chased truth across the asphalt)
The engine growls like a wounded prayer,
begging the road to strip us bare,
we ride through storms the heart won’t show,
chasing the fire only riders know.
The paint is chipped, the chrome is scarred,
life burns its lessons long and hard,
we lost some friends along the line,
their names still roar inside the spine.
Wind cuts deep like a lover’s lie,
but the throttle lifts us toward the sky,
every tear that hits the wind
gets turned to steel and rides again.
We’ve bled on gravel, kissed the rain,
patched our jackets with our pain,
yet every mile, the truth gets clear—
the Force of Love is always near.
You think it’s torque that keeps us free,
but it’s the One Light riding endlessly,
guiding the lost, the brave, the worn,
through nights so cold the soul feels torn.
Yeah, we cursed the heavens, broke our trust,
buried dreams in roadside dust,
but Love keeps haunting every turn,
a fire too wild to ever burn.
So Mike, my brother, hit that ride,
let the Spirit pull up by your side,
for every rider, young or old,
is shaped in Love’s unbreaking mold.
And when the final sunset hits your eyes,
and the long road ends beneath the skies,
you’ll see the truth we chased so long—
the One Force rode with us all along.
Steel and Spirit, road and rain,
they break the flesh but free the chain,
and every mile we thought was pain
was Unconditional Love calling our name.
