Tense Harmony: Logan Xiong-Powell

Through Dense Forest, I Stalked The Bear,

With Rifle Raised, And Steady Stare.

The Hunt Was Long, The Chase Intense,

But In My Heart, A Sense Of Fence.  

I Tracked The Bear, With Stealth And Skill,

And When It Came,

I Willed Myself To Take The Shot With Care,

For In That Moment, I Was Aware.

The Bear Fell, And As It Lay,

A Peaceful Stillness Came To Say,

That In This Hunt, And In This Kill,

There Was A Connection, Deep and Still

I Knelt Beside The Fallen Bear,

At that instant, I Was Aware,

That In The Taking Of Its Life, 

I Felt A Connection, Free Of Strife.

I Took A Moment, To Give Thanks,

For The Connection, And The Chance

To Be A Part Of Natures Dance,

And In That Moment, I Found My Stance.
