Ode To the Duckdive

Throwing gravity aside this is the magical enchantment of the duck dive Surfer God Changing atmospheres From liquid to gas Body reborn euphoric in the presence of eminent danger Some how defying nature’s authority Against gravitational forces Pulling Ripping Collapsing Calling me to that bone yard reef That graveyard of epoxy and resin Where the tombstones are surfboards broken in half I become death’s passenger Floating towards the light Rays of angels surround me as this miraculous extension of me This powerful staff propels me through Hades The underworld holds me back The water demons grab hold of my legs while my surfboard carries me into the sunlight I have survived For the time being Now paddle like mad Cause here comes the sets!!!
