Surfing Blues

Everything was just going terrific
My body surfing, my mind optimistic
Now I'm loopy and don't remember the specifics
Woke up in my bed but my tooth lost in the Pacific

Soar and Snore

I killed and ate a wild boar.
See my clothes all covered in gore?
I bouldered for days, see all the skin that I tore?
I climbed 5.10 when I was only four.

Why do we always keep score?
Is it because we find life a bore?
Losers feel sore
Winners gloat and roar
Are you really hardcore?
Or are you 100% folklore?

I think I'll just keep living and talk no more.

Groovey

Lately I've been in a funky mood
Trying to find my own groove
No matter how many times I shake it
Thinking the wrong thoughts don't make it

Shut down, restart, refresh
The rock and I just gotta mesh
As I wait for my tea to steep
I realize that I've been thinking too deep

Point of No Return

Freedom is an illusion
Naturally driven
A prisoner of this compulsion
Pressure is always there
The start has got to feel right
Hanging in the balance
I am the hunted
At peace with the consequences
Fear of danger leads to high concentration
No hesitation in this altered state
Fear transforming to calm
Pulling past the point of no return
Heightened awareness of surroundings
I go on living
As long as I have dreams
The crux is leaving the ground

A Wish

I just want to cuddle with Johnny Depp next to a fireplace and cry softly until I fall asleep.

Just Wondering

Just Say No or Just Do It?

Uh Oh

Mother Nature doesn't like cockiness
Growing inside me like a disease
Flirting and flowing with the rock
Performing, daring, balancey tease
Then stripped, skinned and grated
Any chance I could redo that please?

Epiphany: I kinda suck.

B Breakin'

The tide goes out
The tide comes in
The point gets busy
The crowd gets thin
The waves come fast
I paddle too slow
I get held under
Where's my tow?

Gushing

I am writing this from inside a shark
It's quite challenging because of the dark
Last I remember I was climbing at the Park
Then the entire forest burned up with just one spark

Where's the humanity?
Busy trying to appear bad ass?
Where's the dignity?
Let's make love, not gas
