Archery practice
Before the effortless –
pure effort is required, quiet aim.
Arrow in the fingers’ cradle,
drawn bow and string;
settled breath and mind, attentiveness,
guidance, a necessary tension,
the brief distortion of a purpose.
Escaping the pinch – letting it fly and float,
precise intentions left behind.
Send it on its way;
beyond the grasp
toward the gathered central mark.
O child of God, before the effortless –
pure effort, quiet aim.
