Life Is Like Surfing
My Similarities of Life and Surfing

Life is like Surfing.
Opposite of chess
Going with the flow
Waiting for a chance
That you have no control
May come large
But crumble out before you get to your feet
Or some are short and not very steep
But then comes The ONE
You paddle and dig to pick up speed
And when your chance comes
A slip changes The ONE to a stampede
Crushes you while pulling you under
Spins you while stealing your air
For a second you just want to give up
and stay under there
but then you hit the bottom
and you find your way up
your head is above water
and you're pulling yourself on
paddling your way back out
another set gearing up for a bout
resiliently working through one’s doubts
under, over, and through
you made it out to the calm blue.
Now we wait for The ONE… part two
