Surfing Life

Staying ahead of the curl
Hands moving sure.
Feet braced, toes furled.
Handling your world. 

The others seem slow.
Their thoughts low.
Their entertainments show 
They'll stay in your tow.
Where to though? 

Eyes scanning the prow
Knowing only now
Assured of the how
But missing the "Wow!" 

Minimal concern apparent
Shoulders squared with talent
Bestowed upon by slant and
Cascading agents  

Sing to be sure you're alive 
knowing now you'll survive
Events conspiring to contrive
You arrive smooth and with style 

Step light. Disembark.
Stay assured of the mark
You'll strike while others remark
"No! Don't! The drop-in's too stark!" 

Cascading droplets stream down
Release sunrays in star-crowns
Sparkle upon skin tanned brown
Animal strength lost. Then found.
