Free Fall

Whispering winds,
lashing my face,
the red ball
hanging beneath my gaze.
As I let go and fall
the world far below,
and the rising moon on my left.
I snicker at the small Sierras
the tiny pool of water they call the Pacific.
The exhilarating feeling,
the surrender and the humbling,
the emotion overwhelming,
the excitement fulfilling,
I fall with a smile.

Yesssss, my dears, from 15000 feet, with 120 mph wind lashing my face, I skydived. 65 seconds and 9000 feet of freefall. The canopy opening at 6000 feet with a jerk, I glided slowly to the ground taking 6 minutes for the 6000 feet. The landing perfect as my leg is stretched out in front of me, I slid on the ground to a stop.

Smell of warm excitement in the air
a smile on my face, life's fair.
Letting go, my heart's call,
terminal velocity catching my freefall.

Yippppppppppppppppppppppppppppeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!
I still havent recovered. Its been a few hours since this happened and my breath is stil hurried and short, my heart is beating really fast, my facial muscles are in pain with the plastered smile and the whole body is still shaking.
I think I ODed on Adrenaline.

I love this feeling!
