Surf’s Up

Waves crash down on the shimmering sand.
Spumeing white horses explode and disband.
The spray whispers across beach and land
Boards float in wait on the icy cold sea
Wait and wait for that elusive wave powerful and majestic
A wave to ride high back to the shore
Tunnel through tunnel then turn back for more
Expectation, exhilaration surf’s up once more

I remember a time long, long ago
