by Old Man Surfer (Kauai)

The ever-changing flow of the script of my life
It comes and goes like the tide

The only constant is the ocean
always there
always wet
always some waves to catch
some water to paddle around in

The ocean cares not about me
It doesn’t need me or hate me
or love me or desire me

The ocean never cares if I am happy, sad, or angry
It’s just there, salty wetness
willing to hold me in its moist embrace
massaging me in its pounding foam
bringing me solace out of nothing but water

It can heal or hurt me
take my life or give it back to me

but mostly it washes me
cleans my body and mind
leaving me feeling new
