Dancing on the Pedals - (Tour de France Special Edition)

Dancing on the Pedals 

Welcoming arms of pine 
The fields of smiling suns 
And the rise of road to sky 
Flowers my imagination 

Spinning carbon or steel 
The climb rises in tremolo 
With the beat of my heart 
And the Divine aficionado 

Out of the saddle I stand 
On a long day suffered 
The line between pedal 
And of shoe is blurred 

Tapping out a lively rhythm 
The pace of quickened tempo 
(Or the tempo sets the pace) 
On a summit crescendo
 
I hear the roaring thunder 
Of a monumental score 
Dancing on the pedals 
This road is my dance floor
