Failing and rising, you select a place in the curl and fall on your ass, get back up and try again
hunting balance, trying to keep the ride going or find another one
but the winds die and fall, and the seas grow tranquil
leaving you becalmed and lost
you can wait for the next wave or you can paddle out to meet them
pushing yourself to find a wave to ride
failing and rising, paddling and jumping up, striving to get your balance and keep riding
crashing and going under, afraid that you’ll never come up again
getting up and trying again
riding in search of a beginning
and end
