"What are you doing today?" one asks. "Just surfing!" I replied.

Surfing down

The corridors of life

Riding every wave

Admiring the view

An ocean of possibilities

Its all up to you. 

A turn here, down there,

Twist here, up there, turn.....

Small wave, big wave, 

Many waves confront you;

The challenges of life.

The essence of life 

splashes your thoughts

As you fall off, get back on

Riding the waves of time.

You control your destiny;

Guiding your board given.

'Till the wave petters out

Across the shore,

In foamy ripples.

Dead is the breeze

And a life..... no more.

"Surfing down the corridors of life", "foamy ripples", I take it you love the sea very much. I have never surfed in my life, but I really enjoyed reading this.

Using the sea as a metaphor for life is much appreciated. I hope you surf through all the challenges Andrew
:D

Like waves you get dumped, thrown about, and tossed like a salad when I body surf and you just get up and ride again a lot like life! Thank you Annie
