Honorable Mention
The Eternal Living Waters I Am
M. Kathryn Black

The Eternal Living Waters I Am
from "Contemplation of the Self", a meditation

I find myself within the space of my own fluid;
my clothes, sheets, even my pillows are wet.
Night sweats don't alarm me;
I look forward to my inner fire.
Poison is burned off.

I hear echoes of sea creatures
talking from great distances,
the bell-like sounds of submarines
creeping through canyons
and kelp forests.
Bubbles tingle like the wee songs of minnows.

My head is oceanic;
I've explored a limited space.
I have yet to see islands form,
great plates of earth moving,
volcanic steam rising through fathoms,
or fish of the extreme deep
with their phosphorescence.

The intellect is a wonderfully crafted boat
built by my irresistable ego.
I breathe, I contemplate.
In time the boat shall disappear;
I will be at one with the sea.
