Twilight comes at last
Bringing its own brand of peace
Some may think this simple
But you must look inside to feel.

I remember my youth
And of days in a sweet summer Sun
Of oceans that became my home
The Sun's lost hope my throne.

Of a winters storm off shore
That made waves of intense size
Which, we stood waiting for
The willing who went to survive.

While I found myself staring down
A wall of water that did not cease
The screams that came from within
As I raced down from the peak.

And as the day ended its fun
We gatherd on the beach, exhausted
Friends of this time we would not forget
Of a days good riding, in twilights haze.

ooh I really like this poem...
deep emotions and cool reflections
theres something about the ocean that is like looking into your soul.
very well written piece here Michael
very nice read.

There are places inside our souls -
that have never been touched.
There are places inside our hearts -
that need to be loved this much.

Dude (said in my best surfer voice) ... just kiddin' ... excellent ... loved every word ... I could feel the crested waves under afoot ... thanks ...

My calling before me, let quill be my offering;
For to be called poet, no greater gift to receive.
