“I started writing poetry when I was fifteen years old. My poem about my connection to the ocean, “The Sea” was published in the high school newspaper. I started surfing at eleven years, so the ocean already had its grasp in my life. Surfing has been my passion for decades. I have been influenced and enjoyed the writings of many authors. Writers like Pablo Neruda, Nikos Kazantzakis, and Richard Brautigan have been inspiring, but I don’t want to limit the strength of so many other inspirations. It would be sad if we only hung one artist’s paintings on our walls when there are an unlimited number of amazing artists out there, and working in so many limitless mediums. The Universe presents many wonderful people and places for our adventures to unfold, and I believe those adventures should be lived with gusto, grace and confidence. This is what I write about, the passion and sojourns of romance and of surfing. And I feel that this is the spice of life, so fill your plate!”

Poetic Musings
Old Friend
by Lorenzo Lago | from “Romance on the High Seas”
old friend it is good to see you again it is good to share some waves you have always worn your heart on your sleeve I honor that in you the surf keeps us sliding and gliding we laugh about how good it is out here on our playground
Homecoming
sharing a session of good waves with a close friend can make any day a great day our ocean passion and its healing is just plain fun!
haven’t I dreamt my arrival in our home coming through the door hugs and laughter from the living room to the kitchen
each wave applauds our understanding surf friendship has a natural order of things I’ve had this honest bond with friends from Hawaii to Oaxaca, from cold water to the tropics these times always ring true in my memory and heart we find reverence in these heroic adventures we share
by Lorenzo Lago from “Romance on the High Seas”
it has been so long and too long not sharing in your warmth your love has never stopped pulling me back I can feel everything it rests comfortably here in my chest I miss all your smiles and understanding
my amigo I have a grand mental photo of your face as you style across the set wave and my luck, here comes another thriller I take this next wave you are paddling back out you are shouting who knows what but ours eyes and smiling faces tell the story
keep the light on I am only hours away I am ready to gather all of you in my arms nurture me again my family the evening stars guide my path to your door I am only moments till my past and present are connected
