Out Of The Quiver, Into The World

for Christopher & Benjamin

My children are the arrows
I will shoot into an age –
A time I will not travel;
A world I won’t engage.

Over crested mountains,
The contours of this land,
Are beyond my recognition,
Yet not beyond my hand.

As I will shape the arrows,
Notch them in their groove,
Send them through the heavens
So settling my brood.
