SUPERNATURAL LOVE

by Mekiah Johnson

I crest the waves, 

Laughing and propelling 

Against resistance 


Pressing onward

Creating a path

Through the formless 


A therapeutic strain 

Of muscle and mind, 

On a quest to

An island often sought, 

Yet seldom seen 


Galloping jet skis 

Thrusting torrents 

Onto all sides

Letting them take me 

Wherever they like


Arms open wide

To a medicine prescribed

With no expectation, 

Just presentation


Pounding sweat,

Music of waves, 

Hammer of sun,

Drumset of dragonflies, 


Amusing

Even the muse, 

Terrifying yet all-embracing,

Showing me

Beneath those racing stars 

Within an uncharted oblivion


The strength of my own 

Supernatural love
