Exhilarating Moments Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Recklessly thinking of doing things that are
dangerous, letting me feel alive once more
taking the time to be myself, like when I was
nineteen.

Savoring the adrenaline rush that filled me
when sky diving, flying Cessna's and stalling
the engine.

Enjoying every moment spent falling through
the atmosphere, plunging with the plane as it
dropped, sending my stomach flying.

Feeling giddy, absolutely loving it's vibrant
sensations, wonderful, exciting, a total turn-
on in my life that I wish to savor again and
again right at this very moment.

Nothing ever having been quite like it before,
an exhilarating and enticing feeling, filling
me throughout my being.
