Oceanscene

breeze blows, caressing, mauling
carving crashing tubular temples
sending shivers down spines

anticipation is in the hands
gripping the boards
the swell promising so much
delivering a majestic rollercoaster
ride to the shore

if you can, you will be hailed.
Well will be remembered
the momentary taming of the sea
beckoning others to lesser feats
of mere survival, with gargantuans
uncaring in their thick ferocity
tossing, turning, bruising
the devotees who look to the horizon

soaking in the salted seduction
mouths slack in admiraton
feet treading, driven by trance
tripped by white-capped poetry
