The Surfer's Stance

 

 

 

I know the zone you speak about

where everything's in place.

I know the zone you speak about

when triumph comes from grace.

I know the zone you speak about

It's slowed down pace, imminently pure.

I've seen it and my father's face

I want to see it more.

I've seen it in the surfer's stance

perfection to the shore.

I want to ride a wave like you

confident and secure.
