Solo Surfer

At the tail of a hurricane,
power dances on webbed feet,
carving across the face of a frothy surge.
In reverence, the ocean sends bubbles in the air
to scoop the board and embrace the man,
a solo rider, who circles chaotic currents
to let his board’s nose break over the lip
then reverse direction. He adjusts himself 
forward to catch another wave 
for the feel of freedom surfing his soul. .
