The whites of the waves

Nothing else matters

Yesterday I had

a lightbulb moment.

Like the shocking of the sun

the minute you emerge

from a unground cave.

It was just a concept.

Just one concept I grasped.

It reminded me

of when my toes finally

catch the whites of the waves.

And the ratio of one wave

to the infinite ocean

fades to a historic, forgotten fact

in face of the joy of

acheivement.
