The Moment
By Garrett Mortensen
Finally spotted the beast
He’ll score 380 at least
With tines long heavy and dark brown
You’d give anything to bring him down
There is an urgency you can sense
You’ve got to close the distance
Wind is perfect out of the west
Knock and arrow and lay it on the rest
Caught up in the thrill
Of being poised for the kill
Your heart stops beating
You know this moment is fleeting
There is a quick moment of peace
The arrow is released
Everything seems so serene
You’ve bagged the bull of your dreams
Thank the lord for letting it be
This once in a lifetime memory
