Come with me
\nby cricketjeff on January 8, 2010.\u00a0 \u00a9 Jeff Green, All rights reserved
\nI’ll take you on my moonlit cycle ride
\nDown summer roads through gentle Sussex downs.
\nThe hedges buzz with life that couldn’t care
\nFor two slow silent travellers by night.
\nA fox patrols, a glimpse of reddish grey
\nAnd flashing eyes like stars that fell to Earth.
\nWe start to work it’s hard to climb the hill
\nBut ssshhhh! Don’t puff, a deer stands up ahead,
\nIt scans the scene and looks me in the eye
\nThen leaps aside towards a dull black wood.
\nNow stop and stare; a million diamond stars
\nAre staring back to see us on our way.
\nThe Moon, not full, but gibbous, takes the lead
\nWith constellations dancing to her tune.
\nThe big and little bears that hunt each night
\nCassiopeia’s double-u below,
\nThe milky way is just a feeble stream
\nWhen moonlight’s bright enough to ride a bike.
\nIt’s downhill now, ignore the wilder sights
\nExhilaration fills our every breath,
\nA squeal of breaks and squeal of fear from me.
\nThe corner made, but only by a hair
\nAnd home’s ahead with bacon rolls and tea
\nWhere, laughing still, it’s bed for you and me.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
