Dashing through the river of life
never giving a care
every turn a new adventure
excitement in the air
There are rapids
around each twist and turn
a thrill a minute
of something we yearn
Oh the years
they dash by so fast
never giving a thought
if the adventure will last
We reach the top
of the great waterfall
tossing and turning
alas there is a fall
The river is quiet
it flows so slow
time to reflect
before we go
The journey was fun
we learned quite a lot
time to rest our heads
dreaming under the night’s dots
It is morning
time to rise again
dashing to another adventure
sharing life till the end

Oh you completely fooled me. I thought you were writing about Death..It was the last stanza, it is morning..time to rise again that i finally breathe easily..
Thanks for sharing. While writing I realized that it did sound like death and then decided that the poem should reflect life. Adventures in life sometimes take twists that can take us in many directions. Sometimes after danger we reflect about death but then the sun rises the next morning and it is time to live another adventure. Thanks for reading.
Love it.
