This morning brought
a lone goose cry
a wild and poignant
last goodbye
that echoed long behind
and rippled out
to all four corners
of my mind
and nestled down into
my thoughts
it seemed a mournful call
did I imagine him bereaved
I wondered at his solo trip
his absent Vee
could he be scout
or straggler
did he stay back
with hope
and did he pray
like me
for one more chance
for one more day
