Poem: "Ode to an Arrow"

Think of how important arrows are, 
So more important than they seem; 
In a world so labyrinthine, they are 
"The star to every wandering bark." 


Arrows make or break you and can kill you 
If read wrong, 
Can lead you to the rocks just like 
An echoey siren song. 


Can lead you out of danger too 
And of the forest dark, 
Set you on a better path 
Of sun and meadow larks. 


Arrows work and do, perform, 
On sign and wall and ground 
And do the things they do without 
A solitary sound.
