Inspiration Strikes Near Death
With one powerful stroke I'm sailing in the air
The wind gently caresses my face as I look for smoothness
Each bump takes my worries away
Each swerve gets my brain going
With one lift I'm over a hurdle
The ground is territory to be conquered
Each mental block erased by the freedom
Each problem unlocked through the riding
For the skateboard is the true paragon of inspiration
As you test the limits of your body and the world
Suddenly everything is so much clearer
As your board gets stuck and you fly off
Everything is so much simpler
With your life on the line, the brain goes wild with ideas
Thoughts of what could've been, what should've been
And that's where the golden idea comes
In a moment where mortality is frail and gone at any moment
Inspiration strikes the clearest
