I ought to wave at a wave
Not the third or fourth Covid wave
But that about which a surfer might rave
A wave is one of a set
Molecules of water ripples, more ripples yet
Until a wave is but
Part of a series
Of waves of crests
and troughs
If we remember to look at horizon and sky
The Universe draws us higher, whispers a reply
We all are stardust yet somehow so earthy
Humans eschew solid troughs, for color & crest (the showy)
I hold onto faith, because really, that’s all I’ve got
To survive the turbulent waves and the mighty winds
The surfacing facts that fit into a big puzzle,
A big picture that spans over many years of time
A journey of highs and lows, success and defeat
Faithfully, I can only act from the realm in which I live
Sometimes ideas are seen on the crests of waves
Maybe leading me, to change direction of my ways
I can only speak truth whether it’s heard or not
I can only stabilize my footing on the deck I stand,
That moves through currents, one day at a time
Riding with uncertainty, while reaching for rays of hope
To bring patience through the whirling storm
A storm that turns over new lessons, restores strength
As I am guided, holding on tightly to what I believe
Never wanting to let go of that or I may be lost
I must put aside some questions, while I take in answers
Always keeping my eyes on what I know to be true
The internal knowing, that no-one else can see
Therefore, only I know what will truly set me free

Waves crest briefly, espies the seas expanse,
So far from shore, patience, creeps e'er so close,
Braves surfs the crest, on boards they take a stance,
Radar in their psyche of what all knows,
Saves for another day challenge a chance,
A star peers horizon's waves crest and pose,
Crests still tops the waves, like eyes blues the night,
Guests on a beach, sees sea with eyes of white.

I sit here with the keyboard staring up at me
But I'm not thinking of my hands touching the keys
I'm thinking of a look
as Juliet would say
"by the book"
Almost classic, what everyone wishes for
But i know it won't come knocking at my door
The choices I made weren't the best
Before I get you back, I won't rest
What can I say to get back to how we were
So long ago it's almost a blur
I knew what i had before I lost it
...you
I just don't know what I can do
But say the words I used to....
I love you.....
