Zoom!

I can feel the sun on my face and the wind in my hair. I pedal faster and faster until my quads begin to burn. Zoooooooooom! I just missed the turn to take the most direct route home, but I don't care. Pedal, pedal, pedal. My bike makes a soothing, whirring sound that I never really noticed before. I have a desire to stretch my arms out like two long airplane wings, close my eyes, and just coast. However, I'm too afraid of letting go of the handlebars so I just imagine myself doing so. Zoooooooooom! I'm riding on the edge of downtown and when I look out I see the deep blue sky, then expanses of air filling the valley, and then greenery everywhere. It's so beautiful that it makes my insides feel like they are buzzing with contentment.

Flying.

The wind, the deep, the sky above,
Fall short on feathered breeze,
Yet petals azure and calyx bright,
Rush to your eye and cleave -
Are lost then to horizon past,
Found on boot and sleeve,
Where hand in hand is sought to see,
A Liar, a Lover and Thee.

--well, unless it were a Cohen or Dylan quote... I just run with the assumption that you'd recognize those.
