Kevin Rocheleau Poet Free verse

Your First Tee

Ever so silent wind with its calm 
the nature of the day is brilliant
 
Anticipation of performance consumes your 
thoughts one two three and the spot light shifts
The weight of everyone’s eyes seem to mushroom 
on your approach and the most minute sounds 
become ever so present.

Hoping your body will remember 
you take your last gasp of air 
All you can do at this point 
is pray for something respectable 
As your eyes ascend and gaze 
down the fairway you exhale 
For this time you have escaped

Ever so silent wind with its calm 
the nature of the day is brilliant
