Brother of the Wind & the Pen
For biker scribe Eddie ‘Sorez’ Pliska, poetry is as much about capturing his passion for the moto lifestyle and the raw energy of two-wheeled travel in prose, as it is about documenting determination in the face of the often-harsh struggles of life. He has had his fair share of both.
Here is Sorez's exclusive August piece, titled Storms of Life. On the road there are times you are stuck with what the weather gods offer up on the day. Rain, sleet, wind ... you still have to steer your wheels home, suffer through the extremes to get where you need to be. Life is the same. Keep fighting ... persevering through it.
Sorez, a contributing writer for Outlaw Biker Magazine who also has a popular book of poetry out, graciously pens some inspiration for the NYC Motorcyclist community each month. You can read more about Sorez in a feature NYC Motorcyclist published in the spring of 2018.
Storms of Life
Dark clouds to the left
Gray clouds to the right
Converging in the middle
Right before my very eyes
Ride on down the highway
It’s all that I could do
Own no cage, have no time
Had to make it through
Lightning bolts flashbacks
Static was in the air
I’d be lying if I told you
That I was not scared
Had to be where I was going
Did not have a choice
Ride to live, live to ride
Through the storms of life
