Rollercoaster

Ride
On a
Turbulent
Rollercoaster
Plummet up and down
Pulled by a force driving
On track inconsistently
Trust always wavers in the wind
Hold on because it is not easy
On a ride, not knowing what to expect

I hate it when my life goes through a roller-coaster ride! The ups and downs can be extreme, we all like the ups so high, but at times those highs can plummet into lows going down, and the force and speed can be debilitating! I loved reading your delightfully expressed poem this morning! What a perfect Etheree! Great Work!!

So true Jan. We certainly do not know what is around the next corner, day to day. Thank you for your visit. I hope all is well :)
