Ode to an Arrow (poem of sorts)

[Deer Slayer]

~ I am an arrow in flight, arcing toward the
 heavens
~ Such magic,...single minded in purpose,untamed
 and free
~ Momentarily pure and infinite with grace
~ Even in descent my flight is my own
~ Earthbound and falling fast now,my heading is
 ever true
~ Crashing hard into the earth...
~ Here I remain until my spirit is loosed once
 again
~ But the heavens shall remember my beauty...
~ My unbound grace and power, if only lived for a
 single moment in time
~ This is all I have,...All I am,...and ever was.

Very cool.

[Killdeer]

All of life can be summed up in the arrow. You captured a great feeling there.

You're right Killy...    

Excellent Mark ...

Thanks all.

Killy, When I wrote the poem I was thinking metaphorically about life and the flight of an arrow. We all have moments of perfection and grace. In any given moment is the opportunity for us to share our gifts with the world and create beauty in relationships,art, or in anything we do with our fellow human beings and all of creation around us. In these moments our decisions to simply allow such wisdom from the source to express itself through us, by simply embracing the moment, is what ripples beyond time and space and lasts forever. Like the flight of an arrow, it is simple, yet beautiful and far outlasts the  perception of a single moment in time.

Thank you for your kind words.
