Long Flight of the Arrow
by Tim Kavi
some say they
are desperately seeking
searching like ghosts
master archeologists
among the dust
of ancient landscapes
others are explorers
of every geology
across their paths
but cannot find
the missing Shangri-la
of the utopian plateau
there are the dreamers
the poets
the undying singers
playing lived out melodies
on the shipwrecks of love
and the injustice of it all
but the long flight
of the arrow
finds them anyway
and because it is Cupid's
arrow; all those
missing arms of embrace
find their human place.
HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY TO ALL ! From Tim Kavi
