Heartbeats race in waiting
It's going to be a fun ride
The tracks laid out in front of me
Clearly before my eyes.
Seeking the thrill of adventure
A quick start of adrenaline
Something a lethargic heart needs.
Buckled up, and ready
Safe, as dangerous can be.
The sudden launch, a huge jolt
Twisting, turning, bending
Inclines and anticipation
Gravity lost at an unexpected turn
A quick right, a jerk left
Not sure what the next twist holds
Too late to get off now...just hold on tighter
Stomach turns and churns with each new bend
The ride lasts longer than imagined
A dark tunnel appears from nowhere
Fear of the darkness, fear of falling,
Imagined fears quickly engage
I am alive...I feel it
But why must it take such a jolt
to feel the heart beat within my chest?
The track leads to the last incline
the anticipation builds
I want to jump off – I want to hang on
The last whirl of emotion
Before the final landing comes
Let me off quickly...
So I can ride again
