Hunter's Communion
a poem for reverence in the hunt
Life
Life is
Life yearns to Live
Life ends Life
Life goes on
Life ends
Life is no more
Creation
Creation is
Life is created
Creator inseparable from Created
Life creates Life
Until
Creation is no more
Destruction
Destruction is
Life is destroyed
Destroyer inseparable from Destroyed
Life destroys Life
Until
Destruction is no more
Life is before me
I see you brother
Breathing in and out
Being
Peaceful
Oblivious
To the Weapon in my Hand
Is it sustenance?
Is it survival?
Is it dominance?
Is it pleasure?
Is it fear?
Is it hate?
Is it need?
Filled with reverence
I commune with you
I tell you my fears
I bring you my ancestors
I travel with you our path
I breathe with you
I strike
Life ends
Quiet
No Judgment
Only Connection and Reverence
Hunter inseparable from Hunted
Destroyer inseparable from Destroyed
Creator inseparable from Created
