The Deer

Deer

Heart beats quicken
Game is on the run
The beauty of the the beast
Draws a longing gaze

I raise my bow
Aim at the heart
Agonizing patience
Ponder the path

I see her eyes
Steeled toward me
Calmly release
The powerful bow

My heart fixes
on easy prey
My goal
To own and consume

I am skilled
In the art
Of taking...
for myself

What stands before me
Catching my eye
My heart envelops
The object of desire

The Triumph...Empty
As I awaken
The Hunt is illusory
Clouding my heart





"The human heart is most deceitful and desperately wicked. Who really knows how bad it is?" Jeremiah 17:9 (New Living Translation)
