Lets Go Surfing Now

Some walk in malls
Some run on mountain trails
Some swim in oceans blue
I ride the waves,
My physical body is happy
My spirit is free.
Upon the North Shore...
Surfers are waxing
their boards
yearning to ride
another wave,
and another
and another.
Surfs up...
Wake-up
Get-up
Fuel-up
Spam & eggs,
Wax the boards
Out the door
Ride the waves.
Lets Go Surfing Now...
The sound of the waves
awaken me this morning
Like an ocean wanting me
Like mermaids luring me
Like love embracing me
Freedom releasing me.

Never ventured into the surfing crowd, me being a land-lubber from Arkansas. Still, I can see, and understand, what a thrill it must be conquering the big waves, and even if the wave washes you out, there is time for one more try. Yeah, I can see that.

Enthralling! Dear James, I understand this passion though I am not a surfer myself. I once read an article about the surfers in Hawaii, it was fascinating. Of course it can be also dangerous, but once you have felt what you say so beautifully, the "mermaids lure" you into it again and again.

Enjoy your surfing day!

Love,
Margherita
