Dedicated to L.G.
By bike - to the Heavens,
No matter what happens!
Like being pulled with a rope,
He is cycling with hope
To discover way home
With his heart turned from stone
To the loving and hot,
Which he almost forgot...
Even when it is dark
To ride over night park,
Even when it is cold
And the hill is too bold,
When it seems strength has gone
And no force to hold on,
Even under rain drops –
His quick bike never stops,
Never slows down the pace!
With a smile on his face
Seeks his home in the sky...
Stretching hands up and high,
Dreaming that very soon
He will catch the full moon,
Climb up and be glad,
That his earth-bound head
Is now close to the heaven!
When he stakes on eleven,
Eight, five, two, four and six -
In roulette he bets mix -
He makes à Southern Cross1
To guide him through the gloss
Of the frosty South Pole
To the heat of his soul!
Jumps from moon to the space,
With impatience, with grace
He runs to Orion2
With the aim to move on
Towards home - to the stars.
Across Venus and Mars,
Through nebulas and light,
Passing sun in its bright,
He dives into a Black Hole
Just to follow string home.
The game Jumanji he plays
With God in full blaze,
Making this play divine
When he always gets “nine”
In each throw of the Dice3.
He is so much enticed
To accomplish this game
And to write his full name
On the star he was born!
Longs to blow the horn,
Feeling happy and proud
He has finally found
His roots and defense,
His freedom and sense…
His peace and delight,
His love at first sight…
His parents and house,
His children and spouse…
His passionate heart!
His desired new start!
He can then stop and rest…
Breathe with full clear chest…
And to bike every day
Down the soft Milky Way,
Which is so high above!
…To enjoy, feel and love!...

TO HEAVEN BY BIKE
This story is about a man... Man who has been searching for his home for the whole life. From his young age he always suspected that his roots were not from the Earth. Every time he was watching in the sky, he felt attraction from stars and planets, he was magnetized by the beauty and mystery of the Universe. His home is not here, for sure. Maybe his origin is somewhere on a star from Orion constellation which he adores to observe in the blue. Or maybe the Southern Cross will point to his road in the Milky Way to find his motherland so high above the planet. When he plays roulette in casino he always stakes on two, five, eight, eleven, then four and six… If to look on the table of gambles you can recognize the cross. It is his fortune, luck, a special sign which leads him in his aspiration.
So many signs surround him every day, bringing the answers to the questions he asks. Unusual places he visits, unexpected people he meets, unpredictable situations he finds himself in. He has learnt a lesson: trust yourself and kind existence. Nothing and no one comes to his life without definite aim; contingencies do not exist, there is a prompt in each of them. It is like playing the game Jumanji. He throws dice... and waits for next step to make into the unknown with all the surprises that God and destiny has prepared for him. Every day of his life. Risks, chances, choices…Yes, he plays the game with loving Lord in his highest vibrations that makes this play divine (“Leela” – the name of the game “Play divine” in the Sanskrit language). Lord has vibration ‘9”, the highest among all creatures. 9 – favorite number of our hero and he always gets nines when dices, it moves him closer to his mission he is looking forward to understanding.
Feeling power and inner call he started to love road and adventures. He discovered a bike for himself. Being in a trip, enjoying dynamics of the road has become his habit, which brought excitement and sense in daily routine. Now he is happy and inspired with every motion he makes. No stops… No breaks… No regrets… But where does he travel? What is the final destination? What does he long to find there?
One day his passionate heart will suggest to him. Just to listen to the heart… and especially attentively in the nights… under the stars… under the moon… to feel...
