Too Soon

Questions rise, when every year An instinct tells them Autumn's near A sign of season's sad farewell They form in arrows, numbers swell In summer breezes, cool of night Against pink skies, with wings in flight Familiar landmarks they recall A southern path, a time to go They know the way, when autumn calls A calling voice that we don't know The geese take wing, their journey starts How sad I am to see them part

its amazing how we can hear them from so far. Like the first robin in spring shows the beginning, the flight of the goose is indeed the end of the season The first robin arrives silently but the geese leave loudly. Isn't that ust how it is?

What a beautiful flower you are, a blossom unique of some wayward meadow, that I shall never cross, in my seasons- Somehow, that just doesn't seem right; and yet, like nectar whispered upon a summer's breath, somehow complete! Thank-you Carrie for your many gifts! love, poet butterfly

Nicely written Couplet. It is amazing how God put into these birds how to know when to go. Like a Lady Always Knows When To Leave The Room. Sara
