A Time Where I Most Felt Alive by Abby Hurwitz

This is an update to the previous poem. This week's post is a little different, not a book review but a poem.
This week I was assigned to write about A Time Where You: I chose the topic A Time Where I Most Felt Alive and wrote a poem. After reading it to many people, I was advised to share it with the world. Leave a comment and tell me what you think. Also, if you know what experience I'm talking about. Enjoy.

A Time Where I Felt Most Alive

Could one simple move
Suddenly remove

Or maybe a sudden lift
My body now just a drift

When it looks so easy
All anyone can do is get queasy

The journey of it all
Is a dance between greatness and a foul ball

Hearing going
The clock slowing

No hurry
Just the worries

While you know the feeling
Others are in debt to the ceiling

As the coins leave her purse
You can see them converse

Arms and legs spread out
For a bird would not fly without

Spinning in the air
The feeling of despair

A simple single of the hand
A smile takes the stand

A once in a lifetime chance
Watching at first glance

The experience is what waits 
But the tunnel is what creates

Defying gravity is such a simple task
When you have four 250 horsepower fans waiting for someone to ask

So take a dive
For this is when you'll feel most alive
