Thrill
Arman Hoque 1977 (Winnipeg)
Thrill
Say what you will about the thrill;
That moment’s rush when you feel the chill.
Capture the moment, the rest you fill
To avoid that looming void,
Sobering tactics you tacitly deployed,
As the return to reality you narrowly avoid.
You carry the wave onto the next rush
Before the roar of applause that somber hush.
Then the house comes down in applause.
That moment stretches in time beyond reason and cause.
That moment of bliss is enough to instill
The mind to reach for that moment at will.
There’s a shadow of doubt between thrill and chill.
