Roller Coaster

A poem about life's craziness.

Up, down
All 'round
Back, forth
South, north
This is the ride
The ride of life
You never know
Just take it in stride
Zig-zag
Criss-cross
Sideways
You're lost
You cannot see
It's not in sight
You're the passenger
Hold on tight
Pitch black
Star bright
Once dark
Now light
Only one thing
You can do
To escape
This crazy zoo
Twirling
Swirling
Whirling
Hurling
Hard or easy
Take your pick
Minus the One
There's only sick
Look for Him
Take His hand
Let Him pull you
From this land
Safe, warm
Lesser storm
Hopeful
Sure, sweet
Into His arms
Dizzy but relieved
Safe from harm
Unending reprieve
