Balance, pedal, breathe

Overrun by tribulation, affliction, and  disorder
Caught up in in overreacting and  overthinking
Suffocating in stress, anxiety, and pain
Desperate to get back to now

Balance, pedal, breathe

Centered, calm, and composed, positioned to go forward
Seeking now – the moment I’m in
Focused forward and moving ahead
Nimbly holding a line to keep from crashing

Pedal, breathe, balance

Pushing hard as I go
Unwinding the tension of the day through the pedals
Rounding my strokes to a steady cadence
Pushing until I’m spinning free of my burden

Breathe, balance, pedal

Pulling in the fresh air around me
Pushing out the staleness inside me
Settle my breaths into a rhythm
Breathing to the balance of effort, cadence, and rhythm

Balance, pedal, breathe

Mind, body, and soul
Working in concordance, perfectly balanced
Complimenting and supporting toward a single purpose
Keeping me pushing ahead toward now

Pedal, Breathe, balance

Pedal hard and fast
Let the sun burn off the fog of chaos and uncertainty
Let the wind carry off the debris of useless worry
Let the pain and effort unify scattered energy and refocus thoughts

Breathe, balance, pedal

Breathing marks the speed of my life
Breathing sets the pace of my movement
Breathing holds me back or sets me free
Pacing fast and breathing free, moving forward unburdened

Balance, pedal, breathe

Balance over the wheels
Crank on the pedals
Breathe at the rhythm of the ride
Attack the hills, surf the downside, swim in the endorphins, purge the stress, mind the peace, race to nowhere
