The Hunger

I stand on the horizon

senses keen to the

rhythm of life all around me.

I breathe in the world’s

offerings and send the

experience outward, always

looking towards the

sun and sky and that which

is said to be beyond my grasp.

It is this reaching and straining

that feeds my hunger to

explore and extend beyond

my limitations. And, once

my will takes hold all

that lay within in my sight

narrows to a single point of focus.

Restrained tension pulls against

the strength of carefully placed

goal and the final pause of release

is that which achieves its

apex beyond the keenest of

sight.

Once again, the archer sets the course

as movement becomes dynamic

and primal urge bursts into the flames

of desire and enthusiasm.

Tension gives way to

flexibility of intent

and directed will issues forth

from that which has been

carefully ignited.

I fan the tiny embers

that expand and become

torches that are held towards

the highest of aspirations

and just as sharpened arrows

carefully aimed hit the core of

their determined mark; these

fires I set to burning within

you will give birth to spontaneity

and finely tempered form.

My paths are many

and each is lit by the

embers  I have set to

smoldering deep within.

I am the teacher and the student

who waits eagerly to blaze a new trail.

I am the place from which the Phoenix

arises and mine is the expanse that

lights the way as the sea goat makes

his journey.
