breathe

 

Love the ride up

Hate the ride down

Breathe.

 

open my eyes

Climbing higher

Feels so, so good.

 

Plummeting down

close my eyes

breathe.

 

Life,

A roller coaster

Amusement!

 

One minute up

vice versa

Rides over.

 

May, 1968

January, 2011

Forty Three year ride.

 

Ride again?

open my eyes?

Breathe?

Deborah, Love the way you compare live
as a rollercoaster, it is exactly that.
Always,
Deborah

This analogy of life as a roller coaster is one I have always used to explain the things that happen in life to my children. I am not sure if your sixth verse is referring to a relationship or the death of a loved one but you are so right...the first step is always to catch our breath then move on for who can truly predict the next upward curve of the ride.

Good Morning Deborah, I found this piece very interesting to say the least. It makes you think about another world. No matter what world it is wonderfully written.

A most poetic presentation of the cyclical philosophy of reincarnation.
