Surf Poetry

Ode To Surfing

While herein words I cannot put
Nor in frame may cameras capture
Those hallowed waves through which we slip
And ride this life of rapture.
To be or not
The state of me
Rests on a vexing question.
Were not I dealt this salty deck
“Not to be” leads in which misdirection?
Yet here we are
While lost are thee
If not aboard and riding free
For we may fleeting lines convey
The pulse which guides a surfer’s way.

Poem of the Month

To Infinity

Sea and sky meet under sun or moon
To strike a chord that casts a wavering horizon.
Blurred at times by fog or night
While elsewhere drawing contrast, depth, distinction.
Caught now and then, amid reflection.

A line that sees the day a different way
Around the world we chase it
Knowing we’ll never catch up
Yet in pursuit we’ll venture far
And discover much before it.
