Tofino from Glimpses by Mark Perry

Tofino

Beach walk, small shops
Storm watch, big rain drops
Old surfer wonders
If it’s his last ride - Tofino

Old growth, bike trails
Fish boats, grey whales
A wave and your worries are gone - Tofino

Long boards, Long beach
Out here, I’m outa’ reach
Suns up, fog lifts
Every day here is a gift - Tofino

People search
they come from everywhere
Sand in my ears, Sand in my hair
upside down - spun around - Tofino

young surfer sits
on a driftwood tree
Says you ride the right wave
It’ll set you free
moments when there’s nothing else - Tofino

They say the big wave will come one day
wash this place away
We’re leaving
But maybe we should stay. what’s a couple more days – Tofino

Paddle paddle paddle – the big wave’s coming
