The Easy Rise

Aaron Johnson

The body knows what time it is

Something for even the world, I wouldn’t miss

The sheets just fall off

A suit replaces the cotton cloth

The sun just waiting for me to arrive

Before an undescribable light show comes alive

The board propped against the kitchen table

Fleeding 5 stories down the stairwell

I meet the grass with the skin upon my soal

I meet the sand at the waters edge my footprint creates a mold

A marathon begins running into the sea

Hop the first 3 coming waves

Now my chest meets the board

Arms kick into gear, the rip becomes my blue road

A fighting paddle brings me to the breaks edge

And there I sit as the most beautiful show on earth begins

The sun peaks up from the unchanging blue

The water sparkles with a rainbow of colours

My feet just dangle in the water

There is no cost for this show

 it pays you

This is my movie, this is my tv

No man can ever match the clarity with a television screen

 

The endless blue

Aaron Johnson

 

The people passing by

On they’re way to good times tonight

The corso lights match the stars in the sky

But we all know their imitations in disguise      

 

I’m found just still, the sand between my toes

No wheat in a bottle can compare

To this high planting my feet into the ground

The endless blue orchestra playing their sweet song

 

 

He designed her to keep this song on replay

I know it will never get old

It’s a song so elegant yet bold

It’s what keeps me rolling on down this road

 

She holds treasure

Not had by plastic or bought with gold

Not captured by a shutter or a brown clay mold

We can all try, but it just brings us back to her

I’ll always come back to her.

I’ll always come back for her
