~ HOLY SURFER ~

I spied a dimpled star in 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 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 night's sun, and I, a rider upon it
A night 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 through my heart
Where I became a Holy Surfer, riding divinity's black art
Vanishing into the original black hole of abstract art

And appreciating that ride,
As a Holy Surfer
That surfer of adrenaline,
In its
Natural form,
And the beauty,
In it all....

Hi Tony, a truely inter stellar write. Like a lucid dream through the cosmos. The latter part of the poem is brilliant.

Where I became a Holy Surfer, riding divinity's black art
Vanishing into the original black hole of abstract art
And appreciating that ride,
As a Holy Surfer
That surfer of adrenaline,
In its
Natural form,
And the beauty,
In it all....

Great write - Syd xo

I feel like I've wandered into the most beautiful part of the tour, your words are like a Picasso, da Vinci, Rembrandt, all rolled into one.
