Life is an Adventure

From the moment of birth

When an innocent child shares

The same air with its mother,

The adventure begins,

And the flight doesn't end

Until ashes reclaim what they gave.

 

Front seat on the roller coaster

As it slowly climbs the hill

Topping the crest and

Plummeting down to a certain death.

 

As wave after wave of

Adrenaline gushes through

Over-stretched veins,

Eyes growing too large to see.

The mind become mush as

The body grows limp and

Legs fail to carry their weight.

 

Ready to heave

Once the hassle is over

Promising "never again".

Yet knowing full well that

You've caught the addiction

That no force on earth can abate.

Life's an adventure, ready to wear,

Traveling in circles, awaiting the dare.
