The Surfer by E Kraft
Standing on the shore, I see
His board greets his oceanic buds
Gently stroking the sea with each swift turn
Humble display of reliance
A lone man amidst endless power.
I watch him disappear into the horizon
Surfing through life beyond the waves
Navigating the highs and lows
Of the known and unknowns
Of the natural and unnatural
Courageously, gracefully, unobtrusively.
