Star Sparked Eyes

He watched
Eyes upon the sea 
He observed her movements
Measuring her soul's momentum,
He rose.
He ran
To her, ready
Prompted by her appeal 
He knew the place to be and braved
Her waves.
Until
He reached the spot,
Where he felt he must be 
She rose high, he stood and rode her
Steady.
Went on
Under her crest
Stable on his surf board
His hand touching lightly her wall,
Surfed passed
Before
Her awesome wave
Crashed, joyful sounds she made
Proud, he swam to shore, sat, his eyes
Star sparked.

The Fringe Date: 6/1/2011 6:44:00 PM Perhaps the waves are beliefs. If taken not too seriously, there is great joy to be found in them. If not, then religions are formed. To love the surf for the sake of comfort is........ well, where the star sparkling eyes come from. I hope you don't mind my crazy thoughts, but cool thoughts come into my little brain when reading your stuff. I like it :) Login to Reply

Login to Reply Caroline Cécile Delacroix Date: 5/20/2011 4:28:00 PM Thank you for your comment. I haven't surfed either. :) But have watched some incredible stunt. I imagine such people having a sort of relationship with the ocean. Thanks again. Caroline.

Carolyn Devonshire Date: 5/19/2011 4:36:00 PM Caroline, I tried surfing when I was young and was able to ride the waves on my knees on the surfboard. Your poem is so beautifully written. I love the way you personify the sea as a woman and the man feeling such joy as he catches "her" wave. Wish I could experience that as well, but I'm getting a little "long in the tooth" to try now. Exciting ride you took us on! Love, Carolyn Login to Reply
