caught up
in the spell of moments

sunrise
is an incantation

of morning
a ritual turning of earth

we forget
the swell of time

that perfect or imperfect wave
we have no choice

but to catch or roll under

About Susan L Daniels

I am a firm believer that politics are personal, that faith is expressed through action, and that life is something that must be loved and lived authentically--or why bother with any of it?

    I really like the surfing metaphor here. The waves come. They don’t ask first. 🙂
