The Prize

Butterfly Nebula

Nifty Namd Nebula's Poetry Contest

Sponsor:  William Kekaula

In the midst of an emancipating destiny she flies Birthed in the contest of fire and ice Spreading her wings to light the endless sky In the lurid darkness she illuminates the Prize Seeking those with virtue and genius to find her For the wisdom she holds in the moment and in the future She chose me to be carried to my most distant unknown To empower my regard for the atomity of flesh and bone She carries us along to find the Great Mystery In her gentle flutter to the tide of our own history For she glitters with the secret of the simple substance I am To be consummated to the gathering of all souls - the lion or the lamb In the midst of an emancipating destiny she flies In the lurid darkness she illuminates the Prize __________________________________________________ Composed on 6-8-2019 The Prize Viewing the Butterfly Nebula "Nifty Named Nebula's Poetry Contest" Sponsor: William Kekaula
