The Geese

Now southward bound, the geese did fly,
beneath a cloudy, leaden sky.
The sound of their honking filled the air.
Wish on wish that I was there.

The expansive Vee - all aligned,
onward ever seeking to find,
the place they'll settle for the night -
to be out of harm - out of sight.

Soon they will reach their destined goal,
following secrets - yet untold.
Now the cycle has come around,
decending earthward to the ground.

I've yet to find the reason why;
the where and when the geese do fly.
But contend myself with the sight,
of their passing - morning and night.
