Wave Bliss

 

The sun reflects off the water

as I squint to see clearly,

the sun hits my body and tightens my skin.

I am patiently waiting for a wave to arrive

I see a bulge in the water and crane my neck

to get a better view.

 

I turn my board around awaiting the arrival

of the wave, I kick the ground and launch

myself forward, just enough for the wave

to catch me in its icy cold grip,

I glide above the water looking down

to the sharp coral, home to many fish.

 

I turn my board sharply to the right

and get inside the barrel, it was like

a tube of frosty water containing you

until finally, you make to shore.

 

I was gliding above water,

above the world,

above the universe,

until my mind and body

were in total bliss, wave bliss.
