Ride when Ready

For so long I have resisted,
ideas of freedom convoluted and twisted,
leaving me independent but impotent,
thinking that I had it made.


No longer do I want life easy and steady,
now I say Ride When Ready.


Do not force, stay on course and never say no,
you will find yourself in a marvelous flow,
within life and all it can provide,
now it is time to enjoy the ride.


However it is not free,
sacrifice is key,
and you must chose wisely you see.


For all that you want,
and all worthwhile you receive,
should not be the source that is money,
for that is greed.


Success will come,
bridges will be built and hum,
the cycle begins anew.


What will truely be,
will reside by the see,
water waits for no one.
