The wind against my face
the earth so far below
spinning and ever changing
as I try to land.
Floating so far above,
yet getting close so fast
hoping that the ground
will be there.
Looking into myself,
only ounces of fear are left,
so many were spent
on the falls before.
My heart races
I feel my pulse surging
frantically paced through my entire body
The feeling of being alive
bringing so much freedom to this flight
I hold my breath while the world speeds before me
Grasping through the air for a glimmer of control
to slow me down this time
I feel the tingle as I get closer now,
on every inch of my flesh
Note even I can help me now
my descent is almost through
My lungs tighten and my eyes close
my fists clench, fighting to make it through
these final moments
until I feel the ground again-
And now I feel the sun warm against my body
and I can breathe
just like the first breath
of new life.
