The Surf

Describing my time by the beach

        Air so crisp

          Water cool to touch

Sand so soft between toes

Breathing in couldn't ever feel so smooth

So fresh and clean wind blows into my face

Hair blowing

Board too big to carry

But it's okay; because waves can make them float

Scared to relax

Having fun is a top priority

One brave step always

Begins the day

People laughing

Girls smiling

Boys splashing

Dogs barking

Waves crashing

Shells pretty in color

Sun glistens water into art

Capture the moment with a frame

Make it the moment you won't forget

The moment that you conquered fear

Mind over matter

Always the goal

Surfing isn't about the winning

It's about the fun

Pass the test to a good time

Be the wave

Feel it

Move with it

Be it

Evolve into it

Becoming board and wave

You become the Surf

Free at will

Calm but wild

Dangerously riding

Trusting your partner

The wave will always be smooth

Just keep your eyes on the target;

The wave, the fun

Look forward never back,

Go to where you want to go

Let the surf be free....

Charge to view... some would..

A thoroughly enjoyed meander through many a fine word and true my friend... you write with a style familiar.. All Good Things, Neville

Lots of nice imagery in this one. The last part of the poem, about the experience of surfing, sounds like a kind of mystical experience, where the individual becomes one with the activity. Nicely done.
