Holy Surfer
I spied a dimpled star amid the heavens
As though a bejeweled telescope spoke to me
Of the common thread running through all things rare
Such a small space they occupy in time's canopy
A dimpled smile amid a momentary flare...
What a wondrous sight, to dance upright in the night
As though a golden telescope caught the tail of a comet
And afforded me, as a witness, an uncommon delight
A surf in the nights sun, and I, a rider upon it
A holy surfer riding a wave beyond twilight...
Forever transformed , my soul did break apart
As though an evolved telescope spied every DNA strand
And the great Over-Soul redirected it all straight through my heart
Where I became a holy surfer, riding divinities black art
Vanishing into the original black hole of abstract art...
And appreciating the ride
As a holy surfer
Of adrenaline,
In its
Natural form,
And the beauty
In it all.....
Tony Taylor

To immerse oneself in your poetry with a spiritual or metaphysical stance is to find your soul " surfing " through deep understanding, acknowledging theoretical analysis and belief systems are a way to explore your own identity coming to terms with who we are and where we are. Infinite variety of existence and emotional or intellectual reaction to this complexity is embodied in much of your work with many being asked to delve into their appreciation of this wonder and debate higher concepts or philosophies.
You are an extraordinary capable poet looking at subject matter from abstract and mainstream angles breathing fresh approaches into the craft. Love your style !!
Wishing you all the best !! Take care my friend.

DEAR SIR WATERS!!......your comments mean so much to me my friend.......like God had our paths cross for a reason.......you seem to be able to understand more than the words .......but you teach me that I am on the correct path with my attempts at writing what's in my heart and intellect to try to understand.......I thank you my friend........truly........smiles.......T xo ?☀✴✳

Warmest wishes !
Seeing beauty in all things no matter how small, is an ability we have as poets.in the physical or metaphysical world....I truly enjoyed this Tony.. Fantastic piece of writing..

10 stars Tony, an excellent piece of art## full of imagery.
Well deserved nomination Tony #for me, you are already the April winner ## Hello jury, can you read my thoughts?
My Dear Brother Poet Tony,
Holy Shit! From what planet did you come?
For surely, your poetry supersedes that of us mere earthlings
Each verse takes me to the end of the Universe
Please teach me this alien tongue
Make me your protegee
Envelope me with your wisdom
Possibly, through osmosis, a bit of you will enter into my prowess
Augmenting my worldly skills
Oh Holy Surfer
I beg you to share your board
Peace, Love and Rockets,
Larry xxx
