?It’s the weekend, but still I wake early. It’s still dark out. I step outside through the back door for a look and hear the sound of geese. A flock is flying overhead. I listen to their lovely honking falling to the earth. Perhaps, if I walk a little ways, I’ll hear them again. Perhaps that is a poet’s imagination. The flock of geese fly away, followed shortly by another flock. Overhead and away.
They too leave behind their splendid song. That song contains the warmth of life and a yen for the distant and remote. One day, we too, like the geese, will fly away and, it would be best, to leave behind a lovely song of our own.
