(The African migrants are now patrolling the Henley Beach area under the Surf Life Saving Program recently introduced in South Australia. The program is aimed at educating the new arrivals on beach safety.)
they bounce back
from the brink of hunger and despair
taming the tempest…
saving the lost souls of the realm
on the fatal shore
behold the frisky moon
in a passionate dance of wonder
rhythm of the waves
how precious is
the moment when the divine
hand of friendship
saves the day; rescuing the tired
limbs from the edge of the abyss
goodwill
flowers in silence
this fateful day
yet, like the guardian
angels of the surf, they embrace
the silver sea with
great passion; celebrating the inner
joy of life sublime

Hello Friend, Good to see you writing again. And this is a joyous post. It sounds like the Surf Life Saving Program is a good thing for South Australia as well as for the migrants. I like your writing, I can picture our dear friends on shore and hear the waves. You have a natural heart for the hand of friendship that makes you more aware of it in others.
It is a joy to me that you check out my blog still since you have been the one constant since I started blogging. Thank you.
What an insightful comment, Technobabe! Thank you for your beautiful friendship.
