AN OCTOBER TO REMEMBER - OR FORGET
Sad, lonely, confused
On the roller coaster of life
Slow climb, rocky trail
Steep, winding path
On the summit
Hope surges
Then the plunge
Spiraling downward
Unable to stop
Breath on hold
At the bottom,
Sigh of relief
Still here
Hope returns
Upside down
Inside out
Going in circles
Suspended in time
Plummeting again
Downward
Unanswered questions
Where's the end?
Can I stop?
Return to the top?
Stay awhile,
Enjoy the view?
No!
Not just yet
Maybe next time
