It's All Good!

Loud Screammmms Huge Smiles Wind beating me so hard Then J U M P OMGosh!!! Can you feel anymore alive?! Wind pushing me upwards Gravity pulling me down Total EXHILIRATION!!! The board strapped to my feet allows me some control and I zoom through the sky arms outstretched Catching clouds instead of waves Wind, its' power! I scream, I squeal Reeling from pure joy Smile plastered on my face Eyes opened wide I swirl a loop and it catches my stomach and I feel like a kid Every part of my being is in this moment I AM ALIVE!!! Balancing on a plank miles above terra firma Living in the blue sky, wide open freedom No rules, No boundaries SPEED The fierceness of experiencing such a heightened sense of consciousness, an awareness of every part of your being Being Alive AND damn glad to be alive It's all good ~written for Ms Moses contest~

Don't know how I missed this earlier, Laurie. It's exhilerating and sensational! Makes the reader feel like they are "flying" as well. Thanks for sharing this amazing experience! Love, Carolyn
