The Surfer

Alone he was
                  thinking
Money wasn' t a problem
                     but loneliness was
Looking for memories
                                  he found himself
A past that was gone
               surfing waves on a present
                                      with a big board.
Waiting for the next wave
         to surf on.
Standing up in front of the sea
                           he saw the emptiness
he faced the ocean
                                 with his board
but he only found waves
                                    to the same shore.
A seashore to nowhere
                 but himself to be found
Covered with sand
                            he was found
There, on that beach
                where he used to be looking  
for that big wave 
             to surf his past
with no money
          but a life that was worth  
to surf on,
               without the people
                             he left behind.
