I slip an arrow from the quiver Oh last messenger please deliver, This note I’ve written from my heart And without which, I’m only part “ I licked the feathers, drew the bow Closed my eyes and let it go. I hear the fibers resonate A gentle sound for such a fate Point, then shaft, then feathers fly A line of hope across the sky I open my eyes but lose its sight A glowing arrow, in waning light Wishing all its time aloft I’m unaware the note slips off Falling gently through the air It softly finds an archer standing there Drawing arrow and preening feather She pauses and begins to read the letter A kiss of words to hush the shiver Returning her arrow to its quiver. In her heart, she bears the note While my heart longs for what it wrote Oh messenger please hear my prayer Return my note with an archers care.
