The Ride

The Ride
(An Eleven 77 Poem) Sometimes you may feel like going for a ride To break away from an emptiness inside From the bottom there's a sudden urge to climb And find the heights that evade you most the time With click and clack you get pulled up to the top Then take a breath as so swiftly comes the drop It's way too quick when life takes you for a ride |
Life is short. The climb is steep. The ups and downs can be precipitous. The highs are often short.
This poem is an Eleven77.
