"Perfect Release"

Ever so gently
Yet with such force
The string slips from the fingers
And sets the arrow too its course
In paradox it wiggles
Then straightens itself out
On target too its mark
In my mind there's no doubt
The flight is so beautiful
I watch it in awe
Still like a statue
Stuck at full draw
In the quiet morning air
A resounding smack
My quarry and foe
Has dropped in its track
The hunt had been long
Full of trouble and strife
But, I whispered a prayer
And gave thanks for its life
I sat there in silence
Waiting for the shaking to cease
And my mind pondered over
The perfect release
How it all came together
With that perfect release

If it was not for rabbits I would never get a buck.

In the beginner's mind there are many possibilities. In the expert's there are few...So the most difficult thing is always to keep your beginner's mind...This is also the real secret of the arts: always be a beginner.  Shunryu Suzuki

Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing. TGMM ♥

Are you ever going to compile these awesome poems of yours into a book?  :pray:
A man who has nothing for which he is willing to fight;nothing he cares about more than his own personal safety;is a miserable creature who has no chance of being free,unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.

Jim, my wife has been asking me that same question for a few years now. You should see the pile that she has!    :scared:  I wrote some good ones while on my deployment.
