IT’S A ROLLER COASTER RIDE.




Wintry, cold, foggy morning
With a hot cuppa in hand
Watching the mist lift
With the warmth of Mr. Sun.
Chewing on the memories
When we were younger,
Smiling at the then mistakes
Which had caused heartaches
Wee bit old & wiser now,
Yet, yearning for those days!
Carefree times
Happiness on mind
Days of gay abandonment
Today, longed for as
A wistful moment.
Past & present
Overlapping at some point
Life comes a full circle.
Things happen and unhappen
Setting themselves right
With usual ups & downs
Twists and turns…
This is but a roller coaster ride!

    Life is a roller coaster ride...and this year proved it for me..and there are hundreds of times I wish I could just rewind and go back to being a kid again..
    Very well written Janu..your words have moved me tremendously.

    A roller coaster ride is the perfect metaphor for the carefree days of youth and the ups and downs of life. Well done.

    Great idea to use past and present for the prompt. And the ups and downs of the roller coaster ride of life.

    Hello Janu.
    Life does indeed have its ups & downs, ebbs & flows, trials & tribulations. Life is one big roller coaster ride. Love this!
    Nice imagery too...I stay away from those things now though...way to scary for me!
    Thanks for sharing.
