Reef Break

I scan the horizon, left to right
white horses gallop upon the seas in fleeting movement
not long enough to hold attention for thought.

Then in the centre of this seamless grey tinted blue, you
burst into the open air creating an ocean spray the
height of 10 men, powered like an erupting volcano.

Your continuous bombarding motion upon the reef you greet below
pounds away in the distant background of the tropical shore
like watching the magnificence of a whale breaching non stop.

You are spectacular, a show all of your own, mesmerizing my mind
filling my consciousness with belief in my own power, a
force it has not yet full capacity to absorb.

You jump with courageous energy and my heart joins the dance
freeing my spirit from tied up fears and worn out beliefs which
hold it captive in realms it no longer wishes to dwell or swim.

Your dependable display is a sign of the strength nature holds
a strength we too each hold, beneath the blinkers of illusion and
folly of fear, highlighting the true role we are here to play.
