Surfer
awake all night
scared at first light
i can hear the roar
it excites me to the core
i smell it in the air
its here for those who dare
line after line a sight so fine
ruler edge lumps of water
the earth has awoken her sleeping daughter
from far away they travel to me
i am gifted a prize from the sea
they crash on the sand
from the distant land
the swell is here
forget last nights beer
grab our boards
travel away from the hoards
secret wave peels on the sand
so lucky i am to live in this land
fear and excitement,turn to a smile
as i ride the wave for more than a mile
on my twin fin in classic style
will i ever remove this grinning smile
some are born far in land
others are born from the sand
people that see the oceans motion
return to the sea out of pure devotion
