HONOURABLE
MENTION
Whisper
By Jennifer Chow, of Vancouver, BC
I saw a vision, as if a dream
with hooves this mighty creature had,
the convergence of all elements of earth
framed by mane and tail flying
in the wind
And yet by some fate
my heart bonded with this might
Not a mere “beast” as some will say
and when I looked into his eyes
I knew I was right
In his eyes, I saw
no judgement, no hatred, no greed
and for once it did not matter
who you are or what you did
and your problems take little heed
And when I climb onto his back
and together we are more
then we could ever be alone
and together, fur for feather
we can soar
unbounded from earthly limits
So I hold him close
so sturdy, so soft, so comforting
hearing that content, sighing sound
blowing softly in my ear
in a gentle whisper
