Megan Nega

Sunlight Under the Surface

my mind            is a sun-shower 
my body a river
an ocean a stream a lake

water aches within
pebbles churn
corals bloom
whales sing

but during my last deep dive
to the breathless place

ankles tangled
in salty seaweed thought
heart
heavy anchored me
down
down

into vast depths

I was
caught in nameless net
facing endless abyss
when
inner alchemist surfaced

I overcame oxygen
and merged with the world
the same way
sunlight dissolves within waves
