Rushing Peace
Turning the corner, she flies
 Adrenaline piercing her heels
 She rushes past rocks
 She rushes past trees
 Around the bend, she skids on her heels
 For a moment,
 Just a moment,
 She catches her balance.
 Holding her breath,
 She throws herself off
 The cliff
 A roar rips through her lungs
 Through her ears-
 Through her heart-
 And she confidently casts out
 A mighty wave of color
 Until she crashes at the bottom.
 
 She opens her eyes
 She sighs peacefully, content
 Love searing her heart as
 The woods whisk by her head.
 She splashes serenely
 Sunlight sparkling on her eyes
 That mirror the deep blue
 Of the sky
 Gasping for breath
 The road becomes rougher,
 Rocks rolls beneath her
 She swoops along corners and bends,
 Adrenaline here to visit again.
