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
