"I don't go to any university.
I'm a student of the Universe.
Life is my major."

"Life's a wave man.
You just gotta ride it.
Try to hang ten."

"The gnarliest of rides tend to be the most radical."

"That guy's caught in a riptide.
He's trying to fight the current,
but all's he gotta do is swim to the side."

"Sometimes a wave will crash and smash you against the shore,
and you get cut up by the shells and sand,
but you can't give up.
Just gotta get back out there and try to ride again."

"Save your highways and byways.
I'm a roadside diner where everything is served Sunny Side Up."
Surf's up dude. You're cool in my book (head, I mean.)
Feel free to comment your own deep-sounding surfer dude phrases below.

please, let the crickets know
their melody of wind found harps
are meant for ears
who listen to the gnarliest hearts
The gnarliest roller coaster ride I've had the displeasure to puke on is HP....One has only to read a poet from debut to see the highs the lows, the curves the blows, the pace it slows, to be scared shitless enough to get back in line and ride again.
Since "they" couldn't get to me directly, "they" decided to deal the low blow and destroy you to destroy me....don't let them!  Show them the lion rules the jungle not a bunch of silly monkeys, horses *****, and laughing hyenas.  Roar woman and scatter the miserable life that has crawled out from beneath the dung beetle's nest to foment hate and spread nasty disease

Find the heart amongst the thickest weeds
The gnarliest, coarsest most jagged rocks.
Find the heart and, darling, plant all it’s seeds
For its love can unlock the tightest of locks.

Find the heart amidst the choppiest seas
The sways, the depths and plunderous tide.
Find the heart and, darling, remember please
To trust in it completely and always confide.

Find the heart laying in a sweltering heat
In the most baron, deserted, deadened land.
Find the heart and, darling, feel its soft beat
Know this; there’s nothing the heart can’t withstand.

— The End —
