The Arrow

A straight narrow arrow flying right through

The nearly still air--how it barely blew.

I drew back my bow string,

Focusing on one thing.

Preparing to loose the quarrel,

Into the center of the barrel.

I relaxed my fingers; the arrow slipped past

Onward and onward--straight as a mast!

It struck full and true

And I turn to you

A smile on my face,

Not a hair out of place.

Proud if my first, very best shot.

Hoping my new-talent wouldn't be for not.
