this damn wave


 am i riding it?


 or is it riding me?


 


    hey! let me tell you


      i am riding whatever it is


      and i am holding on for dear life


 


         with both hands


and both feet


            and even my teeth


            because i am riding this part of life


            down!


 


                 i just hope the trough


                   hits soon


                   because that would mean


                   life gets to flip


                   its switch


                   from bad, to worse


                   to…to…


                   better?


 


                      yeah maybe


                       to high,


                       to great,


                       to full of life,


                       to love of all there is to love.


 


     now that's nice and iced*

Good poem Sara. If only life was as simple as riding a wave. Waves all come from the same direction, life comes at you from all directions at once.

Excellent take on the subject of life -- the metaphor of life vs wave in a poem is ... "iced" (perfect!)
