Roller Coaster

Roller Coaster

slow start
observation
anticipation
head uphill
gaining sight
cresting peacefully

whirrrrr......

down, down, down
faster faster
up down all around 
loops spin so fast you feel you'll lose your head
straight runs 
you catch your breath

what a ride!
you scream
you cry
you throw your arms in the air with glee

up down
all around
 what a thrill
leaving you wanting more

in the end you know
you had but one ticket to ride

life

enjoy the ride

It certainly can be a rollercoaster. Great portrait of life.
