Roller Coaster

Up, down, all around it speeds me on.
To the night sky, to the frozen ground it speeds me on.
It thrills me, frightens me, soothes me and speeds me on.
It leaves me, loves me, hates me and speeds me on.
One thing to make me feel all, one thing to drain me dry and speeds me on.
I wonder where I will end up, end in, end out and it speeds me on.
I want it to stop, slow down, ease up but still it speeds me on.
Every high, low, and in between it speeds me on.
This ride of rides speeds me on.
This emotional roller coaster.

Hello The Drifter,

Looks like I misundersttod, my appologies.
Thank you so much for sharing this. Your poem is very moving, even more so with the dream that you have had. Again, thank you.

Thinking and praying. Have been buried for a season and away from the keyboard.
Keep sharing.
Praying you connect with more peace than pain.

It is good to be back in the loop a little. Spent several weeks with a nasty cold. Took all my spare energy.
