Love the Surf

Started surfing recently and never realized how much I could love it. It was like I was meant to be on a board in the ocean.

The smell of the ocean.

There is nothing better.

The sun kisses my freckles, warming my skin.

The water sparkles, glistening, showing such beauty.

The waves crashing, birds singing.

Soothing.

As I walk upon each piece of sand, I realize.

I’m here.

Lost in the magic…I’m home.

The salty water rolls off me.

 

I paddle out.  Gliding on its glassy surface.

Pull. Pull.

I stop and sit.

Up and down the water lifts me.

Looking upon the horizon, the sky meets the water.

The waves build.

Coming to me…I see the one.

Quickly I paddle.  Get ready.

At last, I give it my all. It grabs me.

Looking at the water beneath me.  I stand.

The wave is smooth.  Guiding me…I ride. 

Embracing the power of the ocean.

Graceful.

We are one.

A beautiful poem for the sea and surfing. Easy to write poetry when we are able to dance with the waves. You are very lucky to be near. The description took me back to good days and the powerful ocean. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

If everybody had an ocean across..... the fact is we are surrounded by water sadly that were the similarities end as your description is infinitely more appealing than some fo the places I have been. I wonder is it just me do I need glasses maybe? and then the realization that in this case the scenery is a catalyst for what springs from your sense of belonging and as you belong you seem to immerse yourself into all the different aspects and it is so contagious It make me want to put my "gear" get the board and come over. Beer around a fire in the evening while somoene sings some ed sheeran song on a guitar.

I am in.

Thankyou so much for this.
