As the wave pitches up

Open the jaws of life

Skip a beat, wipe the brow
Old grandfather takes a break
Soft and soluble, turns tough and fierce
Natures gift or natures bite
Work with her, coheir to jeer
Inner dolphins whistle, you are here
Drop all fears, commit to sing
Carpenters of the sea
Natures barrel reveals the pearls
Suns rays contort through rolling funnels
A pump and stroke, arms now open
She blows to show the path ahead
Grandfather sighs, tick toc tick toc
