NEW DAY

It’s a new day

I say

Black gives way to grey

A pink glow signals the coming day

The sun peaks over the horizon creating a time for play

It’s a new day

Will it last?

A memory of a similar scene past

Set-lines forming smooth shiny and fast

Tubular curves growing, the calmness across the glass won’t last

I have to get out there quick, its gunna be a blast

It’s a new day

I confide

Imagining pulling inside

A footprint in my memory, the anticipation of the ride

The fear ‘n worry ‘n confidence divide, on take-off will all subside

It’s a new day

Tired eyes now see

Nature’s power calming me

Mist blankets the shore, and rises from the sea

The sounds, smells, the coast shaking swell, the freshness sets me free

It’s a new day

I'm out there, it's smooth

Set waves are approaching, so I paddle for the groove

I look along the face of a wave, and with one smooth move

I stand and grab my rail, and pull inside the tube

It’s a new day

‘Hooot!’
