Do you live in\u00a0an area\u00a0\u00a0where\u00a0you \u00a0have a real old-fashioned WINTER season?<\/strong><\/h3>\nIf so, the days can begin to feel long and monotonous by late February.<\/strong><\/h3>\nThe festive holiday seasons of early winter\u00a0is only a memory now.<\/strong><\/h3>\n <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Today, I read a poem by Mary Oliver – “Wild Geese.” This inspired me to write a poem.<\/h3>\n
\u00a0–<\/strong><\/p>\nWild Geese in Winter<\/h4>\n

<\/a><\/p>\nI\u00a0glance out my window<\/p>\n
and begin to write a poem<\/p>\n
consider my ordinary day<\/p>\n
the wild geese in my little piece of world<\/p>\n
they travel across the \u00a0sky every day<\/p>\n
above distant \u00a0treetops of the woods.<\/p>\n
stop whatever I am doing when I hear them coming.<\/p>\n
I want to lay face-down on the earth<\/p>\n
and whisper, \u201cI am nothing.\u201d<\/p>\n
“I am nothing, Lord.”<\/p>\n
the morning view from my window is a snow globe landscape.<\/p>\n
I am warm and snug inside my home<\/p>\n
wild geese fly\u00a0over the tree tops on\u00a0wintry days<\/p>\n
a trajectory from north to south<\/p>\n
my husband\u00a0sits in his reclining chair<\/p>\n
in the corner of his yellow reading room<\/p>\n
stacks of books surround him<\/p>\n
his dog, the queen of our home<\/p>\n
on her blue velvet throne<\/p>\n
stares out the window as snow covers the\u00a0road<\/p>\n
I am upstairs in my library<\/p>\n
sorting through\u00a0Czech fire-polished beads<\/p>\n
and black Tahitian pearls<\/p>\n
my cat\u00a0sits on a shelf\u00a0beside\u00a0rows of poetry books<\/p>\n
watches\u00a0over me<\/p>\n
as I work\u00a0at my craft<\/p>\n
in front of the eastern window<\/p>\n
wild geese fly\u00a0over the tree tops of my \u00a0wintry days.<\/p>\n
