    Enjoy this one! This is probably yet the second longest poem I've written (after the 10K word poem on Godzilla haha) this one is on the Silver Surfer!

    Clad in a Shining Coat that Glimmers beyond that of the Brightest Star,
    I Strike with Power greater than the Darkest Super-Nova,
    I can reach you in an instant …should I even be Light-years so Afar,
    For I bring a Message … from my Master,
    For Ravenous he always is … he brings Downfall and yet he is the Balance of Order…

    From the Annihilators,
    To Aiding the Avengers,
    To the Defenders,
    Yet too now I be a Loner,
    For yet I be never a Goner,
    For I be also known as,
    Sentinel,
    Captain Universe who would sail the Oceans of the Cosmos,
    Cosmic Wanderer from the Galaxies and Stars so Afar,
    Champion of the Universe,
    Cosmic Wielder of Great Power,
    Friend of the Noble and Brave,
    Herald of Galactus,
    Loyal Ally,
    Lover of my beloved Shelal,
    Protector of Earth and the Innocent,
    Star Savoir of the Universe,
    Scholar and Adventurer of Zenn La,
    Skyrider…upon my Board!

    Yet whilst I am Endowed with the Power Cosmic,
    I am too Burdened with the Moral Ethics,
    For A God I am Not,
    For Great Power I never truly Sought,
    Life I never Formed,
    Yet many times … I could say I be but Reborn,
    For Much Time has passed,
    Since my life on Zenn La from the Past,
    For yet I am a Warrior …
    Protecting Earth and the Innocent from Evil Destroyers,
    Selfish Subjugators,
    Greedy Conquerors,
    Yet only save for Galactus … my Master,
    For yet many see me as a Hero,
    For though I feel I deserve nothing more than Zero …

    For the Emotions of Love,
    Of Dreaming,
    Of Hope,
    Of Freedom,
    These themes be the children of the Future,
    For whilst Sadness and Grief may claim many,
    But I will ensure the Sacrifice was far from in Vain,
    For their noble work and deeds shall Remain,
    For as to the Gods,
    I will ensure these Innocent Souls and lives … live long from their departure of their Physical Domain…

    Though with Great Power,
    I sometimes too Flounder,
    For I too always Ponder,
    About Humanity’s Future,
    For of one True Treasure,
    It be Peace … for the good of all I truly Desire…
    For what more does one truly want of such a Feature?

    For once a Great Scholar,
    Of the Decadent World of Zenn La,
    Yet when came my Master,
    The Safety of my Love Shelal and Zenn La was what Mattered,
    For Pleaded with Lord Galactus,
    Alas … it be decided!
    For Norrin Radd I once Was,
    Yet then with the Power Cosmic,
    I be a Herald of Galactus!
    With Great Powers so but Fantastic!

    Eons that Passed,
    I would glide and guide my Master,
    Worlds plenty he Devoured,
    Some devoid of life,
    Yet some rife with life,
    For the Time that Passed,
    My Mind was long gone … for what Norrin Radd once Thought,
    Yet then to Earth …
    Where I would experience … a Moral Rebirth!
    For another easy score,
    Yet then I would find myself at war,
    With noneother than the Fantastic Four!
    Yet then I discovered my Moral Score,
    And the Destruction Wrought by my Master … I would soon Deplore!

    For trapped on an Insane Planet,
    Yet then too as to the Planet to the Sun that Orbits,
    For then I would discover the meaning of Friends,
    For to make with the Earthlings Amends,
    For I would Learn,
    There is more than just Power and Destruction to Yearn,
    Yet there is more in a Celestial Ocean … that what all there be to Know,
    For then by the Power Cosmic … all the Force I would throw at my Foes…

    For the first time in Memories,
    I have cherished the meaning of Nobility!
    For there is finally something worth Cherishing,
    For those who are dear to me … it be worth Protecting!
    Even the most humble Earthing!

    For I’ve seen Worlds,
    I see the Building and Destruction,
    The Paradise … yet by Greed and Fear and Hate to mere Reductions…
    Yet on Earth … I will not stand for humanity Betrayed,
    For this would mean … their Sacrifice be but in Vain!

    Where even the smallest Matter,
    Has Potential for a Magnificent Universe!
    For the Endless Cosmos!
    The Worlds and Cosmos always changing,
    Like the coloured Baneling,
    Where the Suns and Planets only prove,
    There is a World … within Every World!

    Yet if there be Danger,
    You can count on your friend … I, the Surfer,
    For you will need the help I can Muster,
    For you will soon learn and appreciate the essence of Cosmic Power,
    For I, the Surfer … your loyal Ally … shall arrive at the Vital Hour!
    For this is because … I am the Cosmic Protector!

    From the Decadence of Zenn La,
    To Heralding and Marshalling of Destruction,
    To the Ends of the Universe and Time,
    Where I provide the Warning of the Dire Comings!
    I am always Watching, Sensing, Knowing,
    For the Secrets be not True Secrets that Surround Me,
    For even the Tricks of Duplicity and Flattery,
    Do little to cripple my Morality!
    For I can never truly be … so Vulnerable!
    Yet I wonder,
    To why sometimes One can’t Reason… such thoughts I ponder…

    For Power with no Reason is Meaningless,
    For as my friend Peter Parker remarked ‘Great Responsibility comes of Great Power!’,
    For I, the Surfer shall always arrive to help on the Dire Hour!
    For Power with no Reason speaks only Malice with no Restraint!
    For this is Pure Acidic Corruption,
    A Mask of Deception,
    The Embodiment of the Darkest Secrets…a Night of Manifestation!
    The Reward be no better than the Consequence,
    For the Nightmare of Shadow … is the Outcome … the Land of Unearned Paradise!

    Yet now and then…the Agony of Weakness,
    For the Shame and Loss of Pain,
    Where to Save the Lives of Many,
    I must Endure the Emotional Agony,
    Even if it costs me … my Soul and Energy!
    Yet Idealism and Peace I Yearned,
    From the time of a Scholar to Herald I Learned,
    For the Power and my Love that I spurned,
    Yet the Hated that resides in the Hearts of many my emotions be Churned,
    Yet in Madness and Selfishness this Universe shall forever Burn!
    For when will we gain Peace?
    When will the Fighting and Confusion Cease?
    Or will Cosmic Wars and Confusion Reign … so that we leave Worlds but only fully of the Deceased?

    For when will Humanity and others learn to live in Peace?
    So the fighting may all Cease?
    So we will leave none in torn Pieces?
    For that it be Love is the True Power to Peace?
    For whilst I may not always have the Answer,
    Yet Punishments I can still Deliver,
    So that the Evil may Suffer,
    For they will finally Falter and Fear,
    For only then can I avenge the wronged whom lost those they held so Dear!
    For such be the Vow … of the Surfer!

    Blessed with the Might of the Power Cosmic,
    I am the Wielder of the Great Fantastic Power beyond many gods’ Delights!
    Many Evil Foes I shall Smite!
    A Power of Energy … Displaying the Wielder’s True Insight!
    Beams of Blast Power … Planets and Worlds they would easily Devour,
    Yet the Power Cosmic too … grants me Great Universal Strength,
    With the Power to Manipulate! The Universe’s Energy at Great Lengths!
    Where I glide through Space and Hyperspace,
    Beyond the Speeds of the fastest Light,
    Yet to Barren Lands and Worlds … I can plant the hope of Life!
    Be it I travel the manner … no much more than the Earth’s greatest Wave Surfers!
    Sustenance I do not Require,
    Exhaustion I need not Procure,
    Yet Sleep too I can if I Desire!
    Illusions I Cast… to make one’s mind feel as if they would always Last!
    Portals I unlock to Travel,
    To visit near-long forgotten Pasts!
    Dimensions and Verses I can easily Unravel,
    Phasing Transition to Matters,
    And I can even Project parts of my Mind … on the Astral Planes!
    The Power Cosmic may be my Shield,
    But it is also my very playing Field,
    Colossal Cosmic Scales I can easily Yield,
    The Worthy shall it truly shall Wield!
    Guided by my Cosmic Sense,
    But it be my Silvery Board,
    Which Great Adventures and Travel my Power can easily Afford!
    And to resolve conflicts and ease Discord!
    Alas I the Surfer…endowed with the Power Cosmic … have such Claims of Power and Might to my Fame and Name …

    For should you dare to threaten the Earth,
    I shall prove you a Challenge beyond Worth,
    For I was a Champion of the Stars since Birth!
    May your laugh and joy no longer be full of Mirth,
    For I shall Battle you,
    And when you be through,
    You will beware,
    For still Challenge me if you Dare!
    For the Surfer is the Might,
    For I fight for the Right!
    Forevermore I be the guiding Shining Light,
    Beyond the Supernova that shone so Bright!
    Even foes cower and die at Fright!

    For sometimes in Life,
    When we must struggle with Strife!
    Where then came my Master,
    At Zenn La’s Critical Hour,
    For his Great Hunger and Desire… my world to Devour,
    Yet with no Choice,
    I would serve Galactus … for the freedom of Zenn La … this was but my Price!
    For no longer would I be Norrin Radd,
    But rather the Surfer,
    From a Herald of a Destroyer … to the Universal Savior!
    For many places no place for me … for whilst I serve … I can never truly be Free,
    Yet then with the Fantastic Four and Heroes of the Earth … for I learned since Birth … Freedom and Individuality at last I could See!
    Self-Sacrifice and Nobility of the Spirit … be a Treasure,
    For few could truly appreciate or Peace to be Desired,
    For there be no other true Pleasure,
    Than a Freedom of Life to Treasure…

    For a Scholar seeks and Ponders,
    Yet the Explorer desires to find the Wonders,
    Then I a Wanderer … simply seek to Discover,
    For the Truth in Lives of many I had Closer,
    For when was there Certainty?
    The Mind’s Oceans of Calamity,
    The Dark Days ahead … where many lest would myself would Dread,
    Where Evil’s Manifestations had Bred,
    Yet alas! My Master only cared that he would be Fed,
    His Hunger Satisfied … at the cost of countless innocents … left worst than Dead!

    For whilst Madness Rages,
    The Knowledge of Countless Sages,
    For the Battles that Raged,
    For Engage we must,
    Lest our Friends shall Fall,
    For United One Will Stand … Yet Divided One Still Must Stand,
    For only when one Relinquishes their Freedom … will Divided One Fall …
    For should one Fall,
    Who could account for the Cosmic Order and Law?
    For whilst there may be countless Errors,
    I must always ensure …for I be the Cosmic Savior,
    That one’s Life must never truly be a Complete Failure!

    The Path I had Chosen,
    Was one that gave me Salvation,
    For from my Friends,
    The Freedom from a Mental Prison,
    Was to Tolerate and Live,
    Many Lives many be Wronged,
    Yet the Tolerance lives in the Hearts of the Strong,
    The Past may be the Past,
    For the Grudges and Rifts between us,
    For I want no True Malice,
    I seek only True Solace,
    I deplore Penance,
    As I desire no Harm,
    No more than I must deliver Worldly Warnings and Alarms!

    The Delusional Worship Evil,
    They think they be but Free … yet still Primeval,
    The Evil only plants the seed of Doubt,
    Harvesting Hate and Delusions,
    Unleashing Devastation,
    Your minds be but Clouded in Judgement,
    You never knew your lives were in Torment,
    One may never trust Tyrants!
    Only then you must be Defiant!
    For when you finally listen to Words of Reason,
    Will you realize the Evil’s Treason,
    For it is only the Truth … that you must Trust!

    As the Surfer … and the Herald,
    I must fight and conquer,
    From blows of the Hulk,
    Asgardian Hammers,
    Delusional Illusions,
    Evil Magics,
    To Flaming Supernovas,
    Home in the Darkest Blackholes,
    Travelling Back and Forth to the Past, the Living and the Present!
    The Eclipse of and Birth of Suns,
    The Devouring of Worlds Afar,
    The Wildest Storms,
    The Dangers of the Unknown Frontier,
    The Horrors of the Negative Zone,
    The Uncertainty of Space,
    The Endless Challenges,
    Or even my own Master,
    Who can truly Challenge?
    The Might of the Power Cosmic!

    Once I may have been Mortal,
    I may have desired and seeked Death,
    Yet then in my Heart … there still lingered Life’s Breath,
    Yet I knew I now be but Morally Wrong,
    Yet to appreciate the Heart be always Strong,
    No matter what the Struggle or the Painful Throngs,
    It shall beat well beyond Long,
    Even at the steps of Death,
    One must never Regret,
    For by Fate and Destiny,
    It shall be decided for you be needed … in another Life and another Place …

    Once Shelal believed,
    Destiny be there to guide,
    So you need not Fear nor Hide,
    Yet then I was that time … the Man of Science,
    For I had lacked my Faith in Destiny,
    Yet then when the coming of Augury,
    Then now I can Understand,
    Why Freedom is so Vital to Treasure at Hand,
    For hence I, the Surfer shall forevermore take a Stand,
    Never to allow … the fall of Earth … that of Man … only then will True Dreams Stand!
    Where even in the Dreaming,
    We reflect our Actions,
    Our Actions reflected our Choices,
    By Fate … we cannot undo what was Done,
    For we must sometimes … accept Consequence…and Accept who we are…or what has been done…
    Yet Redemption one can seek,
    For it fuels Hope …Fosters Redemption and Encourages Dreaming Renewed Again!

    All things in Life occur,
    There is always a Reason,
    Even be it Treason,
    Where even One who be the Chosen,
    One’s Gift of Love and Freedom,
    Should always be cherished,
    Where Grace would too Protect You,
    Where the Light shall Guide and Protect,
    And the Dark shall be Vanquished …
    Yet whilst Earth may sometimes fall into a Darkness,
    It will never truly Last,
    For we seek to see it Regress,
    Where Folk Evolve … not Devolve nor Regress,
    Or Promises to Transgress,
    Where the Young shall Lead the Very New World of Today and Tomorrow …and write their names in a Book of the Past!
    Where the Light shall always Last!

    An Angel … a Demon I be seen by many,
    Yet the Power Cosmic grants me much to offer so Plenty!
    For this Power is only granted to the Worthy,
    Yet Death I am never Truly,
    Where to hide from Death is to relinquish Freedom,
    And to serve the Darkness Abyss,
    Yet so long as I be Present,
    In my Duties as the Cosmic Savior,
    I am always the Avatar of the Light,
    Where I seek to quickly resolve all Fights,
    For this then you shall witness the True Cosmic Might!

    For whilst I deliver messages of Death as be that of an Angel,
    I must stress … I am not Death itself,
    For Death may strike near and far,
    Where it be unleashed, without restraint and unbidden,
    For I have no consent to its Power,
    For it be due in its Hour,
    Yet to hide from Death means to surrender to the Dark,
    Yet with the Essence of Presence, I shall fulfil my Task,
    As the Surfer and Galactus’s Servant,
    I shall always protect those in the Light
    And even should I must Fight!
    For I represent the Good and the Right!
    To Test the Power Cosmic Might!
    In the Struggle of the Universal Plight!
    I shall strike all foes down with Spite!

    Yet to ensure the Survival of Earth,
    I must know that since its Birth,
    It has held Sacred Worth,
    For I expect no Reward,
    Nor any great Treasures,
    Nor any new Features,
    Yet the Universe be full of unnatural Wonders,
    And harbouring strange Creatures,
    Yet always,
    It is always something … or one from the very Earth,
    For it has been Unique since its Birth,
    Hence it is a world defending for all its Worth….
    With the Power Cosmic I summon Forth!
    I shall always Protect and Defend Henceforth!
    Despite the vitality of Earth,
    For a new home for me since Birth,
    Yet still there be Hatred, Fear and Hostility that Lurks,
    It possessed and infested many one’s Hearts!
    Yet I desire to have no Part!
    For whilst Exiled on Earth,
    I ask myself … what be on the Darkest Horizons beyond the Stars and Suns,
    For where will I find a new Challenge to Run?
    When will be the Day … where I can be Free and Rest?
    Yet the unceasing Hostility!
    The Darkest Horizons,
    With not Reason,
    Only Dark Beckoning,
    With no Challenges Worthy,
    Only a Universe of Sand,
    Where one must know it shall only slip through grasped Hands!

    Yet then I once be as Norrin Radd,
    Scholar and Scientist of Zenn La!
    For whilst the Denizens of Zenn La … lost the Spirit to Explore,
    I embraced the will to Adventure…for the troves of Knowledge!
    Alas now, I the Surfer … Cosmic Savior … Adventure far and Wide,
    With my Cosmic Board of Power I venture as One … through Eternal Winds…I escape the Veils and Worlds of Madness!
    For once I be free from even Galactus … only I shall truly be … my own Master!
    For I know I will never truly Fail,
    For so long as I stand Tall,
    I be the Vigilant … of Universal Law!
    Even to the Fringes of the Galaxies of the Unknown … Soar I shall … Soar I must…Many Lives in me have Trust…

    Whilst the Times and Eons be Long,
    With Tricks of Fate … and the Eyes of the Fickle,
    Yet I guide my own Destiny … for it is always in my Heart within Me!
    Where it guides … it beckons … I, the Surfer am compelled within!
    With the Lands and the Unknown …
    The Future Befuddled and Wrapped and Warped as if it be the Darkness of the Negative Zone!
    Yet never I forget … my beloved Shellal … whose memory is in my Mind and in my Heart…
    A Love broken since I was to Part …
    For yet then I travel about!
    Where I see and comprehend … confusion of many!
    Where Force would Rule and Destruction the Word and Might of the Cruel!
    Little do these Fools understand…let alone comprehend!
    For they only nurse their graves to cradle …
    In Violence’s Straddle …
    Only I, the Surfer … be their new Teacher,
    Where I shall Teach the Knowledge of the Power Cosmic … Alas! A Power never truly known…until it be shown!

    Where even should I have Failed…I am glad to have once Lived!
    For I be then Free!
    Soaring as if a Bird as Swift and Mighty yet so Silent,
    I would Teach the Light, Preach the Right and Display the Power of True Cosmic Might!
    For Regardless of the Cost,
    I will do what I Must,
    For many they have put in their Trust,
    As Peace is a Priority … by the First!
    Because I know … what I do … is guided by the Light,
    And it shall shine … forever Bright!
    For the Surfer … he be always Right!

    In the Worlds among the Stars among the Universes,
    There lies the choice of the Good … where the Words are of the Pure and Truth,
    Or that of the Evil … where Selfishness and Hate Rule,
    There too also be the Uncanny and those whom only Care for Themselves,
    Yet then I would see the choices made … with actions reflected…by a single beat within their Hearts!
    Then there be some of neither good nor bad … yet no Avarice of Desire nor the Ashes of Hate …for there may be Strangers and Heroes of Peace,
    Whom never truly be Prisoner’s to one’s own Web of Fears …
    Where I, the Surfer may prize Freedom but I too Treasure Nobility!
    Where Failure may be Acceptance … so long as it never truly brought Shame to one’s Name!
    Where I, the Surfer … even in the Darkest Days where there be no Light…there still would strive the Will and Hearts of Many ...where all Hope still but Lingers!

    Where even when betrayed my Master, Galactus!
    Where the Earth was spared of his Hunger,
    Yet to Earth he imprisoned me in his Anger,
    Yet an Invisible Barrier,
    Yet then I would not stay Prisoner Forever,
    For too even his Barrier would Falter,
    Where give up I would Never,
    For to try again and again,
    Where then I would be but Free!
    As the Sun to the Moon,
    As Eternity to Death,
    As I have been Tricked and Used … yet it be the schemes of the Lord of Evil,
    Where I may be weakened, I may be cheated, I may have even been a Fool,
    But I, the Surfer am still beyond mortal … and never one’s Tool!
    Yet Freedom’s Pastures in Space I would Rule!

    Evil may still exist about the Universe,
    But the Victory lies in the Hearts of many … be it mine of First!
    Where binded at times I be in a Cage of Confinement,
    Where as then there be a devoid of Light,
    Yet then I embrace Destiny’s Right!
    I best the Demons of my Heart and such … and sprout about Life in Worlds!
    I never worry nor fear Tomorrow,
    For so long as the Surfer Soars!
    As the Power in me,
    Is beyond a Thousand Cosmic Seas!
    A Force beyond any Reckoning … of Incalculable Speed and Mass!
    Where Patience too … I would take in Stride,
    So that I will Learn … I need not any Pride!
    For from what I learned,
    Is not Glory to Yearn,
    Nor Arrogance to Spurn,
    But to Remember … All Beings have a Choice … never to be Earned…
    For even I, the Surfer … too have a Choice … which shall be Honored!
    Only to the Foes and Evil … will all they realize their Schemes and Fantasies … will be but at an End …
    Any Wronged …I, the Surfer shall make Amends!
    For I, Surfer, Champion and Herald … shall be always Reborn!
    For at the Will and Authority of the Power Cosmic, I shall decide who be Fallen and who shall again Rise to the Stars!

    For Leadership … which one would Rule,
    Yet few would know how to School,
    Yet a True Leader … was also the humble servant … of the very People!
    For the Reward is already … within us All,
    For then we shall forever stand Tall,
    We shall never Fall,
    Whilst I, the Surfer, shall protect you with the Universal Law!
    And Free from Evil’s Thralls!
    As the glint of Divinity be within us,
    The Sparks of Living Trust
    Forward I must, Forward we Must!
    Where it determines the fate of those who will to Live,
    It guides us in our Thinking,
    And forever more for the Good we shall all Strive!

    Then when the Spark ignites to the Day,
    I, the Surfer, shall lead the Way,
    And Illuminate the Spans of the Universe,
    For then none can truly stop us!
    For no Nightmare nor Illusions of the Worst!
    And to ensure Hope for All,
    The Light will never Fall,
    The Strong still stand Tall,
    As I uphold Universal Law,
    To free the innocent … from Evil’s Holds and Thralls…
    Whilst the day I return to the Stars,
    I will have but journeyed so afar,
    Who shall come and join me?
    For once I am now Free?

    An Invader I may have once been,
    Yet I be more than an Alien,
    An unwelcome Visitor,
    A Herald … a Traitor maybe … yet never to Life,
    For Freedom I fight for Strife!
    Where Eons and Worlds I shall Travel about,
    Seeking Solace … one could never appreciate about!
    Yet I too always report dire Warnings,
    The Prudent be Wise to Heed,
    For in Great Times of Need,
    When it be time for Galactus to Feed,
    You must always take the Surfer’s Heed,
    For there be victims and foes … yet in the Darkest Days,
    There is always Hope … in the form of … the Power Cosmic!
    With Strength but Uncalculated Might so Titanic!
    For as long as the Strong band Together,
    Survival they Desire,
    For all that they Treasure,
    So that even a Handful never Falters … but lucky Survivors,
    So long as their cause be but Worthy …

    Yet in my Exile … I fought battles spanning Galactic Miles,
    From the Ingenuity and Arrogance of Doctor Doom,
    The Evil Malevolent Schemes of Mephisto … whom above all … desired my very Soul,
    Aided only from Harper,
    With great losses … Alas! The Hero’s Toll…
    Yet too I find friends with Hulk and the Sub-Mariner,
    Where we be the Titans Three,
    Then with the Forth Doctor Strange … we be now the Defenders,
    Yet my desire to be Free … meant soon …
    With the aid of Richards… I would take my Leave…
    Where I would return Home,
    Yet I would find Zenn La with Destruction Sown,
    Where even Shelal be taken … by Mephisto the Demon,
    Yet free Shelal I did…and restore Zenn La She Did!

    As I was no longer the Herald,
    Then Galactus chose his new Herald,
    The world be again in Peril!
    Where we deal with Terrax the Destroyer,
    Yet I too be again free of Galactus’s Barrier,
    For finally after the rescue of Nova,
    Dealings with the Skrulls and the Champion,
    I have peace with my former Master,
    Exiled I be but No Longer!
    Yet there be but endless Galactic Adventures!
    Be it with the Kree of the Interstellar,
    Or the ravages of the Skrull Empires!
    To the sinister plots of the Universal Elders!
    Whom desired to kill my Master!

    Where we thwart the Plot,
    With the aid of a new Love, Mantis,
    Yet though died and she returned,
    The Love never again Burned,
    Yet I still be spurned,
    My desire for Romance but still Yearned,
    Then to Nova I turned,
    Alas her Flames but Burned!
    When against Galactus she turned,
    Yet perish she did … between the ruthlessness of Morg and I and the Heralds!

    Though in grief I was,
    I still battled and defeated the Cosmic Menaces,
    Foremost be Thanos,
    With the Evil Infinity Gauntlet … the Universe he sought to Erase,
    Leaving but almost no Trace!
    Yet still I would ask Galactus to restore my Soul in Place,
    Yet then I would recover,
    And find friends in the Infinity Watch and the Star Masters,
    And even attending reunions of the Defenders!

    Then to Zenn La I would return,
    Where destroyed in the Earth times I would learn,
    And lost in my Heart my emotions that no longer burned,
    Yet the confusing churns,
    Where I would again befriend Alica Masters,
    Where Countless Adventures Together,
    I would have my spirit and personality gathered!
    With Zenn La but no longer,
    Yet still I protect Earth’s borders,
    Where among the gifted Ellie Waters,
    Would save Earth from Apocalypse and bring back Order,
    While I still travel Interstellar,
    Earth abandon … I would Never!

    Then in my Travels,
    Where I would be captured…by the Sakaar Empire,
    Imposed and Subdued to Obedience,
    I be forced a fighting Gladiator,
    Where I fought the Hulk and the Warbound,
    Yet through will and distraction,
    And Cosmic Power …in the vital hour,
    We would be Free,
    Yet the Hulk chose not be Free…
    And again Galactus I would See,
    Again as a Herald I served He,
    For it be the War of Annihilus,
    With his diabolical plans of Annihilation,
    I be captured and sent for Thano’s Experimentation,
    Then I be saved by Drax the Destroyer,
    And with Galactus Together,
    We would defeat Annihilus!

    Then I would lead my Master,
    To the world of Orbucen to Devour,
    Yet this hour I be in contact with Rider,
    Whom we had to evacuate the citizens of this hour,
    Then I return to Sakaar,
    To please my Master … satisfy his Hunger,
    With the Old Power,
    By the Thousands of Years,
    Yet the plan was but a Failure,
    For Galactus be far from Nurtured with the Old Power…

    Then the dealings of the High Evolutionary,
    Where me and my Master … the Asgardians and Thunder God we would Encounter,
    For a battle of meaningless matter,
    Then it was solved where I would leave the service of my Master,
    But to guard an artifact of Asgard,
    Alas in Oklahoma so long as I would guard,
    Yet then the fight and war of the Serpent,
    Where I aided in the Atlantis’s Liberation from Attuma …

    When you hear the coming,
    Where the Lamentations of the Worlds,
    There be the edges of the Space and Cosmos … where the unknown and horrifying,
    Yet much to little … I be unaware of,
    Though I may be hated,
    For foes should stay their hand,
    Lest their Anger be Slated,
    For I am the SILVER SURFER,
    BEHOLD! THE COSMIC POWER!
    I THE SILVER SURFER,
    AM THE SCHOLAR OF ZENN LA,
    THE COSMIC SAVIOR,
    UNIVERSAL PROTECTOR,
    THE WIELDER OF COSMIC POWER!
    For when there is the Dire Hour,
    You can expect I, the Silver Surfer … to be there … as the Cosmic Savior!
    For Why? Because the Silver Surfer I am,
    For Evil shall Fall,
    Yet I, the Cosmic Savior shall ensure friends stand Tall!
    For so long as I, the Silver Sufer… wield the Power Cosmic … I shall uphold the Superhero’s Law!
    For Evil Doers … just remember … you shall face the Wrath … of the Power Cosmic’s Avatar,
    For I, the Silver Surfer…shall teaching the meaning of Cosmic Power!

    For I’ve seen Worlds,
    I see the Building and Destruction,
    The Paradise … yet by Greed and Fear and Hate to mere Reductions…
    Yet on Earth … I will not stand for humanity Betrayed,
    For this would mean … their Sacrifice be but in Vain!


    I love this stanza! I think it really embodies the entire poem and the Surfer's zeal to save the Earth.

    I'm impressed with the length of this poem! And I learned quite a lot about the Surfer, too. Very lovely!

    Actually - I'll tell you this - in the entire week when I wrote this last week (so about 1000 words a day in the course of 4-5 days) and I simply just looked at the Silver Surfer's quotes and in the film and his quotes and feats in the comics - and simply wrote the poem from there :) Or rather 'constructed the Constructs of Power' and such from there :)

    And if I may recommend - read this again AND listen to Daft Punk's 1998 original track Music Sounds Better with You and look at the Silver Surfer - you'll see why I chose this song when it reminds me of the Silver Surfer - for the 4-5 days I wrote this every day I listened to this track until I was finished :)

    This was beautiful - sweeping and epic and wonderfully worded. You had me from the first verse to the last. =D=
