The night drops its moonbeams on the water
ghostly white caps dance above the reef
curling over in the moonlight
“Come to me,” they call and I will – when dawn breaks
I’m there
with the first call of morning
standing alone on the deserted beach
just me and my board
watching the sea throw itself upon the earth
daring me not to break my promise
Throwing myself into the water
I attack each rise and fall
until I reach the point of no return
and sit
bobbing like a cork
waiting for that one wave
the immense silence swallows me
the delicate tinkles calik, calik, calik at my board
my thumping heart fills my ears
a strange tightness aches in my chest
as each wave comes and goes
slithering up, dropping down
waiting for me
to take it on
as it piaffes beneath me
heaving in and out
impatient
Just breathe
with a gasp I paddle into fear
feeling it scream beneath me
as I jump to my feet
and look over the world
water surging, roaring in my ears
the shore
powering toward me
screaming and laughing
I fly on invisible wings
Connecting
I fall into its lull
flopping on the shore – alive
heart still thumping
laughing
crying
knowing
the earth and I
just shook hands
ghostly white caps dance above the reef
curling over in the moonlight
“Come to me,” they call and I will – when dawn breaks
I’m there
with the first call of morning
standing alone on the deserted beach
just me and my board
watching the sea throw itself upon the earth
daring me not to break my promise
Throwing myself into the water
I attack each rise and fall
until I reach the point of no return
and sit
bobbing like a cork
waiting for that one wave
the immense silence swallows me
the delicate tinkles calik, calik, calik at my board
my thumping heart fills my ears
a strange tightness aches in my chest
as each wave comes and goes
slithering up, dropping down
waiting for me
to take it on
as it piaffes beneath me
heaving in and out
impatient
Just breathe
with a gasp I paddle into fear
feeling it scream beneath me
as I jump to my feet
and look over the world
water surging, roaring in my ears
the shore
powering toward me
screaming and laughing
I fly on invisible wings
Connecting
I fall into its lull
flopping on the shore – alive
heart still thumping
laughing
crying
knowing

just shook hands
