Geese
I think that I shall never see,
A more magnificent scene to me,
Than skeins of geese in pure flight!
'Tis truly an awe-inspiring sight!
'Tis a wonder of God's Creation,
That they fly in perfect V formation!
As they glide thro' autumn's lowering skies,
I harken to hear their haunting cries!
I stand in awe as they pass in review,
Blessing my soul as all too soon they fade from view.

ReplyDeleteGreat poem Robert. I've observed in awe, geese lining up in preparation for take off! It was an amazing spectacle! Such a beautiful ascent, & then as you described, in perfect V formation off they flew. "Tis a wonder of God's creation", as you stated! Thanks for an enjoyable piece. Best wishes, Chris~
