In great pageantry they arrive a chorus line across the sky a call to both ear and eye to look upwards on their returning flight their siren song plays amid still tentative skies they come on a prayer even weeks before the new leaves pink the trees with spring they vie for voice in a turbulent time and to my heart they override the sounds of missiles tanks and strife they arrive in tune concurrent with this time they come in majestic flight on blind faith and they remind with a vision of peace on these uncertain times |

There is joy in "returning" things..Birds that have been gone long months and the green in grass and trees. These things have a power that is beyond my comprehension...The power to make ugly things disappear for a while and allow me to forget them.. a feeling stated well right here... "they vie for voice in a turbulent time and to my heart they override the sounds of missiles tanks and strife" Last week I saw a flock of about twenty five snow geese passing over me, the sky was clear and blue...I was awestruck...It was like I was viewing "a vision of peace"... "they come in majestic flight on blind faith and they remind with a vision of peace" For a while I forgot about how we live in a time of "the breaking of nations"... Although war is doing that now, and has always done so... The snow geese passed by, and along the bank of the lake where I was icefishing, two young lovers were walking, I felt a surge of nirvana....geese and lovers, that is what will carry life forward.... "Yonder a maid and her wight Go whispering by: War's annals will cloud into night Ere their story die." (Thomas Hardy.. "The Breaking Of Nations") Gads! I have turned this reply into a novel...sorry My mind loses all perception of time when it gets lost in the space that a good poem provides..... ice/ford |
