Joy Lost

Joy Lost If not for the new, incisive, situational, How do I justify, care, and learn, If not for the exciting, unexpected, new, How do I care, elevate, justify. What I knew, have always known, I revisit, now I look with new eyes, Old knowledge, forgotten, reminded, I now know, I remember, at last. My hands move, instinctive, natural, Forming, creating, what has never been, Vision impressed, wood yielding, A weapon forged, force of will defined. Flight of shaft, eye to impact, From a tool forged of will, Impact connects, the release, Fingers relax, eye see, recoil and impact, a cycle complete. (Stoic)
