Like Breathing
December 7, 2010
As it consumes me I wait
Still then I break
The surface and gasp
I breathe in the air as
The water takes me down again
Eight times this pattern repeats
I catch and carve my opponent
Pushing it behind me
Rotation is key
To keeping me moving forward.
As if the wind is pushing me
I move against my will
I carve almost effortlessly
Always moving forward with speed
I have done this a thousand times
It has become like breathing.
