I saw a solitary goose today
flying across the sky.
It was honking as it flew over my head
and I wondered what it was lamenting about.
Geese are not solitary creatures.
They mate for life.
I wondered where was this gooses mate...why was it flying alone?
Why was it flying and crying at the same time?
And for those few seconds as I watched it soar
I understood its mournful call.
And I understood why it cried as it flew on alone.
