To Fight A Wave
To fight a wave, exultant rise,
And floating, flying to the skies,
To twist and turn with joyful zeal
And leap and plunge as playful seal;
To feel the freshening, foaming spray
Washing all the land away
All dust and dreariness and care
To leave the spirit free as air;
Exhilarating, rich and grand,
One last great wave returns to land.
