Making Memories
Zipping through New Hampshire’s White Mountains
Suspended by a rope through trees
Autumn colors accompany a brisk breeze
Turning your face bright, scarlet red
Don’t look down, just peer ahead
Live joyfully in each challenging activity
“What,” you say, “no engine?”
Sail planes ride wind currents
Regular airplane tows you up
Then you are cut free
To rely on navigational skills
Parasail over turquoise sea
Images below evoke wonder
Tiger Shark approaches bathers
No distress signal sent
Rev the engine
Noisy jet skis
Bound over waves
Bucket list
Now empty
Memories!
