Just a Little Better

Riding slow by the riverside
Golden hour on the other side
Don’t need a reason to keep the pace
Just pedal past this quiet place
No finish line, no grand escape
Just breathing in a softer shape
Not running far, not running fast
Just leaving behind what didn’t last
If I’m better than I was before
That’s enough, I don’t need more
Just a little better, just a little light
Moving inch by inch, not chasing flight
Morning turns to noon, that’s all I need
No big win, just a quiet lead
Just a little better, from me to me
That’s how I learn to let things be
Not going far. Just here to there.
No map, no rush. Just some air.
Just some air
just enough
Just a little better, like evening sun
Not a race, just a quiet run
If I’m here, and still okay
That’s more than I could say yesterday
Just a little better
that’s all I pray
