A rare sunny day (yesterday!)

Post by Dan74 »

After the endless days of rain
The sun broke through the clouds at last.
I lubed my motorbike’s chain, put my gear on
And rode off for the curvy country roads.

Green fields and blue skies
Danced arounds me, as the road twisted and turned
And then… four bucks streaked through the meadows.
I stopped and watched their graceful gallop.

A buzzard circled down and folding his dark wings,
Set down on a patch of grass a few feet away.
Off in the distance a pair of kids played in the tractor
Next to an old Bernese farmstead, draped in its steep wooden roof.

I rode past the forest with scant red leaves glimmering in the sun.
Up through the hills, until a majestic expanse opened up below -
The Alps poked their blue peaks through the remnants of feathery clouds.
