The Hunter

It is said that, "Two heads are better than one." While I believe that is true, it is truer still that two souls are better than one.

Recently, I was told by someone that while his vocabulary may be quite large, he didn't have the ability to affect the soul of another with his words. Of course I knew this to be untrue.

I often borrow the beauty of other's words for my poetry. It isn't that his words weren't beautiful...he just wasn't hearing them from my perspective. You see, I listen with a sense of wonder. I hear the beauty and visualize the depth of his words... affecting the soul of another:

The Hunter

Lagging behind
Soaking up scenery

Sitting motionless
Consuming God's creation

Quietly watching

Deer
Playing in the rain

Raccoons
Frolicking in tall grass

Hunting,
Hunting for beauty
Soothing his soul

Today's Silver Lining: Your words, my perspective...two souls, better than one.
