Surf

When is the last time you took a risk? How did it work out?

Take a risk, no regret,
leap into the wide ocean,
wet,

caught a wave,
the biggest yet.
Rock pools, what might you find?

A sense of self,
or a form of time.
Staring out, horizon flatten,

staring out, the ocean happens.
He caught a wave,
or it taught him,

a sense of beckoning,
beckoning, reckoning,
with what he knows,

all we can do is flow,
into this minute,
then the next.

Bellow and shout, sometimes true,
but calling out corruption
is like howling at the moon.

Mother nature is not inert,
a living power that restores the earth,
restores the earth.
