coming nearer, nearer,
energy rises, the wave tips curl,
reaching up, the spray leaps heavenward,
and then it tucks, and
bends its knees
and ripples over
froth, foam white,
and still it runs
ripples, rivulets
slipping, sliding
to the shore,
then its burden
all discharged,
quietly, it is
no more
watching the arching pulse
a board and surfer crouching low
waiting for the perfect time,
it comes, just so, he throws his weight,
and fused with mighty strength without,
propelled by power beyond his frame
and then
he rises deft
and sure, to dance
across the skimming surge
he licks the salt, and thrills
to fly, in and out
the tunnel
shift
and on his face, a glimpse
of joy, he’s seen
beyond
the water drop –
he’s heard the laugh
of angel voice
delighting in
such human fun
Does He who by His grand design
holds all within its perfect place,
take joy to see man
ride his waves,
and dance across
the leaping foam?
I think He does –
He sees our "wow!",
And He is glad!
Wow, what a Dad!
