Sometimes life feels like the flared froth of the longest wave

Like I’m living in chaos, spinning round and round to my grave

Caught up in the bubbled surface of simply too much turbulence

Believing myself lost within the newest, loudest disturbance

It is then that I most need to find my way to serenity’s peace

This is where I have always sought solitude and release

Out here just where the surf is caught as it is breaking

Out here where dreams are born in a moment of making

There in the calm just before catching my  tubular ride

I feel the peace descend and restore my breath inside

In that moment I know beyond knowing that as I’m growing

I catch the buzz that is the essence of life and it’s showing

I’ve seen enough photographs for me to know my place

Out there on the waves with a God given smile on my face
