We wait with anticipation
Time inching by
Until we strap in and start accelerating
Up we go, excited for what comes next
And not wanting the ride to end
In the moment, we’re flying free
The miniature setting below just a blur
We’re consumed by the exhilaration
Unconcerned with the problems that await us
We speed through the air, constrained yet not
Right side up
And upside down
Twists and turns
Fast then slow
We come to a halt yet the ride of our life is already moving.
