Eagle
As when the tuning fork and string vibrate
As one, or eyes meet when first lovers realise
They are in love and cry in shared surprise,
Behold a harmony to celebrate.
Something of grace, perfection, effortless,
As flesh and muscle unleash without strain
And nerves fire pyrotechnics through the brain
Saluting both the power and the finesse.
See gravity's parabola. Watch in awe
The rise and fall that passion brought to be,
The vectors of divine geometry,
The line none but an eagle's quill could draw.
The vacant hollow gapes. Your ball's descent
As dazzling as an angel, heaven-sent.

(see PERFECTLY FLAWED)
Was it inspired by an iron or a wood?
See gravity's parabola. Watch in awe
The rise and fall that passion brought to be,
The vectors of divine geometry
Priceless! I have seen that look on a man's face when he gets it just right, but never so right as that. I have much more often seen the snarling and throwing of clubs.
Not that golf isn't a transcendent pursuit!
And the way you weave in the eloquent words to express
the thought elegant is all insets your genuine trait well !!!
Of course, I also had to look up what an eagle in golf meant. The third stanza is my favorite for all of its double meanings.
