Notes About The Poem

Pity the Human

The journey of geese, now seen 
Through Autumn seasons, 
As it’s always been.

White chin-straps fly 
Through snow.
They write on sky
A history we all know.

Down below they know, 
Human eyes 
Will follow them,
Wherever they may go. 

With hearts and minds 
That somehow can’t ignore, 
The thought that they
Would give the earth to soar. 

Pleading God, Entreating God, 
Trade gravity For flight.

A one-way conversation 
That will end 
In dreams tonight.
