Hello Goslings

Free-Write Day Three 5/1/24

As I drove past a pond
I felt the sudden urge
To welcome them
Those sweet, fluffy goslings

Welcome Earth-side baby birds
Welcome to your sensory home
Where pain is mingled with pleasure
And hunger pangs reign supreme

Welcome to the warmth of your Mother’s wings
And the bitter chill of winter
The smell of sweet grass
And the sharp teeth of predators

While perilous, Mother Earth still promises hope
May you find hope here
May your lives be full
May you grow and grow and grow
