Le Chanson Vrai

Shifting dirt  Beneath my feet Solid stance Poised, ready The wind picks up Caresses my face Waiting, waiting Till its just right The sun to my back Eyes focused Arm steady Feeling for the moment Till its just right A lull in the breeze  The moment has come Bring up, pull back Straight along, lined up right Every muscle taught  Like the string, I'm steady Release, it sings  As the target is met Satisfaction floods The air vibrates with power The bow still hums As pleased as I am To let loose an arrow Feeling the rush Again and again One with the wood And string and steel  With the ground at my feet Tuned in to every sound Slightest shift of the air Feeling everything Knowing when to strike Like an old friend The wood is molded to my grip Familiar with each other A perfect fit, complete and whole
