One Single Impression: Love

SandyCarlson May 07, 2011
Love

The widowed goose
Glides through air
That last summer
Carried his mournful cries

To swim where he once swam
As one of many

And landed always with his partner.

Faithful,
He glides through the pond
Day and night

Searching,
I think.

    You surely are able to teach. About the importance. Of life. And love.

    Sandy, I believe your poet.
    I truly believe that death of a partner hits the male harder than when the roles are reversed.

    Dad was a widower for nine years. His burning question was why am I still here.

    Beautiful and hauntingly sad. When you told me this story I had no idea you were going to write this beautiful poem. Makes it even more special.
