We The Surfers
Fishy colors, trippy pattern, new skin, same goddess dubbed hippie
My wetsuit warms me, colors me, and delights me while a bait ball swarms below me
My board; my connection to her, to him, to them each a reflection
All brothers and sisters continuing traditions reserved for royals and shaman, being observed by shore
Punished, saved, caressed I belong to sea, my life enslaved to waves
She gives life and takes it, merciful and menacing among the breaks
Commander of flight to shore, foam dances upon my board
Friend and foe, near twins glide below
The old, the wise, the armored; slow in the knowledge he has time
Rich green in kelp, auburn in crabs, marbled drab clams
This world lost and forgotten by all but us; We The Surfers.
