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
