The thrill seekers
on this sky-high roller coaster
could nearly touch the clouds
before they zoomed back down the track.
Their screams and laughter
echoed all the way down
and into the ground
and up through our feet
and out the tip-tops of our heads.
That sound of letting go,
the joy of taking that plunge
is contagious.
When it winds its way
into your soul,
waking up the spirit inside,
you simply can’t help but look up.
