Roller Coaster

So high!
I rise to the top.
I am indestructible.
The view is amazing.
The joy is overwhelming.
Wait!  What’s that?
A precipitous drop.
Okay, I can handle this.
A freefall to the bottom,
My joy left dangling in the air.
I crawl at a snail’s pace,
Until the ride regains its momentum.
I navigate the twists and turns;
Not sure what I may encounter next.
A straight and narrow path comes into view.
Shall I stop the ride now?
Or, shall I rise to the top once again?
