Balance

I am no surfer, but carried by a wave.

I seek to ride it, but fear it’ll misbehave.

But as wave rises, I get on my board,

I hear it approaching and hope balance is restored.

I bend my knees,

and feel the cool breeze.

I let the wave carry me,

as I surf this turbulent sea.

The feeling washes over me, I close my eyes.

I fall into the sea, with no surprise.
