Randy Johnson Poet Rhyme

Bow and Arrow

I take my bow in hand
One arrow from the quiver, too.
The target is one I understand
My arrow is straight and true.

I know the direction and distance,
Yet the distance I'll ignore,
'Cause if I undershoot for instance
What am I shooting for?

So back the bowstring goes
'Til the bow's about to break,
And the speeding arrow shows
The path that I must take.

This path I'll never deviate,
Nor will I ever quit-
Until I find that arrow;
Even though I may not find it.

And should I find that arrow,
My purpose will not end.
By taking in hand my bow,
The arrow is sent again.
