Short poem about the little boy I see in so many older men. A surfer inspired this.
The Boy Lives

There he sits, like he has a thousand times before. The eternal optimist,
the adventurer, the dreamer.
Searching always for the elusive wave,
The one that inspires,
the one that can make the boy remember that feeling.
The feeling like nothing else has ever moved him.
It continues forever; haunting his days and invading his nights.
In this man lives that boy. The boy is alive and well.
He knows it’s out there.
That wave, it’s coming
He can wait…
