Reflections - 3. Chapter 3

A poem written about one of my passions in life - White Water Rafting
 
The mist hangs in the air
 
A cloud masking the rage
 
Of the demon within the turmoil
 
At the bottom of the gorge.
 
 
 
Thrill erupts in the mind
 
The sole begins to feel the beat
 
Of a heart raging with anticipation
 
The excitement leaves no retreat.
 
 
 
A team climbs over the rubber
 
The raft is ready to go
 
Nine lives pulled together at once
 
As the boat moves out into the flow.
 
 
 
The water is white, angry and bright
 
Eyes gleam with ecstasy
 
Adrenaline breads a frenzy
 
As nine men make a legacy.
 
 
 
There is no way back
 
Only forward into oblivion
 
Onwards we row
 
Desire has us driven.
 
 
 
And at the close of the day
 
The experience is vivid
 
A moment of pure freedom
 
A feeling unknown to the timid.

I loved this one! Very nicely written, and the words flowed smoothly. Plus, I loved it because I love rafting!! (Favorite hobby!) :)

This one may be the best poem, even if the others are more important in terms of their feelings and ideas. Here you work with words in a lively and original way. Which one is you in the picture? :)

I'm not in that one unfortunately. I don't have the pics of me on the river in digital format, only on paper. :)
