Mountain bowhunter
From river bed to mountain summit
The forecast is rain then mercury plummet
A hunter goes forth with hope and a smile
Driven by destiny, persistence and guile
A relentless pursuit in a land that is frozen
Hardship and challenge the reason he's chosen
To hunt the most majestic and noble of beast
So that his soul and his body may partake in a feast
He marvels at a landscape that is icicle encrusted
Having emerged from his shelter keener than mustard
Feeling on his face chilled wind from the pole
Freedom's sweet breath giving life to his soul
Soon he feels warmth from the Suns life giving rays
Surrounded by beauty he takes time and prays
That this day he'll remember from now until when
His number comes up and his own life must end
He looks for some sign while walking the trails
Moving so slowly no faster than snails
Not giving up even beyond when he tires
Till at last he has found what his heart so desires
There right before him the beauty and grace
Of the animal that drew him to this time and place
Fate has so ruled that these two shall meet
Parted by distance best marked in feet.
When said destiny comes time to fulfill,
The hunter moves in and prepares for the kill
He draws on the string and shoots an arrow well aimed
The animals body and spirit is tamed
When at the end the beast has been slain
The hunters emotions include sorrow and pain
But he knows life's circle of which death is a part
And knowing this fact he has comfort of heart
That is awesome sir , I will be living that for many more years I hope...
