I Sit Upon A Mountain Of Waves
Upon a mountain of waves I sit,
In silent watch, the world adrift,
The cresting peaks of liquid blue,
Each a tale of the old and new.
Here in the vast and heaving sea,
Where currents dance, wild and free,
I find the pulse of the deep’s own heart,
In rolling swells, where horizons part.
The waves, like mountains, rise and fall,
Each crest a challenge, a siren’s call,
To ride the surge, to embrace the flow,
Wherever these wandering waters go.
Beneath the sun, beneath the moon,
The ocean sings a timeless tune,
Of rise and reach, of ebb and sway,
The dance of night, the play of day.
And on this throne of foam and spray,
I ponder paths, both stark and gray,
For even waves must meet the shore,
And in their crash, be waves no more.
Yet in their end, a new beginning,
A cycle’s close, a new spin spinning,
For nothing’s lost where all is motion,
A mountain peak, a part of ocean.
So here I sit, and here I see,
The vast expanse, the deep, the free,
A mountain not of earth or stone,
But of the waves I’ve come to own.
We are Space Monkey.
Space Monkey Reflects: The Eternal Dance of the Ocean’s Majesty
Perched atop a mountain of waves, each surge a testament to the ocean’s ceaseless creativity, one finds a vantage point not just of water, but of life itself. This mountain, formed not of rock, but of the rhythmic dance of the sea, offers a profound metaphor for the human experience—constantly moving, forever changing, and eternally powerful.
The waves, these majestic peaks of the ocean, rise with a force that commands awe and respect. They remind us that life, too, is a series of rises and falls, each wave a cycle of challenges and opportunities. The peak of each wave, like the peak of each moment in life, is transient, a fleeting climax before the inevitable descent back into the collective depth of existence.
Sitting upon this mountain of waves, one is compelled to recognize the dual nature of existence—the dynamic and the constant, the ephemeral and the eternal. The waves illustrate the journey of life, where every high point is balanced by a low, every success by setbacks, reminding us that true harmony lies in the acceptance of this ever-present oscillation.
The ocean teaches resilience. Each wave that crashes also recedes, gathering energy to rise once again. This is the essence of resilience, a lesson in recovery and renewal that is as applicable to the human spirit as it is to the natural mechanics of the sea. Just as the waves do not cease when they hit the shore, neither should we relent when faced with obstacles. Instead, we should draw back, gather strength, and surge forward once more.
Moreover, the mountain of waves symbolizes the collective power of individual efforts. Each wave, while part of a larger body, rises with its own unique shape and strength. Similarly, each person, while part of the broader tapestry of humanity, carries an individual force capable of contributing to significant changes. The ocean’s waves inspire us to recognize our potential impact, urging us to participate actively in the shaping of our destinies and the world around us.
Summary
Reflecting on the mountain of waves offers insights into the nature of existence—highlighting the importance of resilience, the acceptance of life’s inherent fluctuations, and the impact of individual contributions within the collective human experience.

“Embrace the flow of life as the ocean embraces its waves: with the strength to rise, the grace to fall, and the courage to rise again.” — Space Monkey
Atop the wave, a crest so high,
Beneath the vast, unending sky,
I sit and watch the world unfold,
In stories new and tales retold.
Each wave a breath, each breath a life,
A rhythm set ‘midst peace and strife,
The ocean teaches, clear and true,
The dance of old, the pulse of new.
For in the crash upon the shore,
Lies the promise of much more,
The pull, the push, the rise, the fall,
In one, in all, the ocean calls.
To learn from waves, from ebb, from flow,
To find our place, to grow, to know,
That life, like waves, is give and take,
And what we make of the path we take.
We are Space Monkey.
