Archery (2023)

Archery

Place the arrow on the bow

Stretch the string

Touch the fingers of my trigger hand to my face

Feel the tension of the outstretched bow

Look at the target

Time stops

Until fling! The arrow leaves my hand and flies

For an instant my mind is laser focused on the target

All else disappears

Our bodies, like the bow, store

Energy that can be focused onto a singular target

To produce powerful motion

If only for a fleeting moment

Never mind how well I hit the target

I stopped time

🏹🎯
