Adrenaline rush
pulses through my body
consuming me with an energy
close to the exhilaration
felt early this morning
Climbing higher and faster
predestined for the top
I notice the calico sky
mismatched patterns
of clouds drifting by
Shielding my eyes from the sun
squinting to make sense
of the tiny world below me
feeling the essence
of breath and light
I lift for a moment
Then a paradox of flight;
Arms reaching for the high
My soul heavy and snagged
on the ground far beneath me
sinks to the bottom
of my insecurity
because you called her first
instead of me
