Silence

Surf

Darkness slowly penetrated by lights early fingers,

Gently poked out the way, while the moon still lingers.

Over the horizon of gently rolling waves,

Colours of splendour upon the land the sun paves.

Viseral beauty upon the retina of water reflected,

Standing idlely by, awaiting perfect moment perfected.

Enlighten awakened minds to earths simplistic delights,

Seek out the rising tide for pleasure hours flights.

Coffee slowly drunk to chase the frigid cold away,

Yawns stifled, as eager enthusiasm is here to stay.

Boards waxed, leashes checked, quick flitted dash,

Into icy water womb, dive with a mighty splash.

Instant pain upon ankles, hands and nose inflicted,

Laughed away with the happiness we are infected.

Freedom of confining society, dissipated by the paddle,

Worries cast off like a restrictive burdensome saddle. 

Beyond the break sit and await the perfect set,

To glide gracefully with hidden power to be met.

Paddle before the gloss in rhythmic strokes,

Feel the raw power of the wave, as euphoria it stokes.

Rise upon my steed, my board, balanced perfection,

Cut the wave with every move, before its destruction.

Adrenaline pumping, surging through hungering bodies,

Cold forgotten, here and now, all that matters is surfings rhapsodies.
