Into the wake of waves he rides.

The surfer glides like bird in flight.

He slips, gets up, head on collides,

into the wake of waves he rides.

His graceful dance with winds and tides

shows love for ocean at first sight.

Into the wake of waves he rides;

the surfer glides...

The sounds of the surf
From their fluid dynamics
Wind generated waves
Worldwide panoramic
 
Capillary waves
Chorused and light
Charming all shores
Touching delight
 
Swells of the seas
In cacophony of crash
Waves in watery meet
Like a guitar solo by Slash
 
Every so often
The rogue wave hits home
Tsunami, the wall
In kettle drum drone

Flute is blown by the wind
Hollow sound long and thin 
Picks up  blowing, blowing all around
Flute now plays a higher sound

Fog or appartion slowly moves
On the cymbals really grooves
Soft and low is the sound
Gently, softly floats all around

Wind  picks up, palm trees sass...

 loose, lacy, white - a flowing blouse
the muse left clues in green-gray eyes
an outlier near the lighthouse-ocean
the seabreeze salty and windswept
foreshadowing of quill and paper

before she knew what to say
before the euphoria of surf
leapt up and touched her fingertips
before she learned to grasp
shadows and...

         The Surf And The Snow Meet


The surf and snow reluctantly 
decided to meet.
A strange combination yet a
knockout Holiday treat.
No more, the man in the red suit 
stuck in chimneys would they be 
forced to greet.
Thus, they...

Mother Ocean please
Send me waves of such beauty
I need Therapy


Dedicated to my Dad on Father's Day 2013
The man who introduced me to the ocean and educated me about it and gave me reason to love appreciate and respect it....

From out the swirling surf 
he plucked a maiden fair, and in distress, 
whose innocence intrigued him so 
that he could not confess in speech, 
articulate her loveliness. 

He took her to his breast and blessed her, 
held her close, and quieted her fears;

The sapphire surf is a lover  
and few can deny her a kiss 
that under her bosom hover. 
The sapphire surf is a lover  
and once lured beneath her cover, 
she swallows you in her abyss.  
The sapphire surf is a lover...

Surf’s up,
Heads are down,
Timing their move,
Concentrated frown,
Salt lips,
Hard swallow,
Adrenalin pumping, 
There is no tomorrow,
The white horses charge,
Their chariots follow,
Surfing speeding waves,
Above a spray crested hollow,
For just a few seconds,
Taming the waves,
Anticipating the way
That nature behaves,
With triumphant abandon,
And balance supreme,
Living the moment, 
Living the dream …...

Though crocodiles may steal their thunder
