I am crying without reading the poem. The sadness breaks my heart. Know you aren’t alone with your gentle and tender spirit.

This is one of the reasons we have poetry.

Thank you for honouring this little family.

Speaks to me on so many levels - thank you.

"the saddest thing

is how certain she looked

as she stepped into

our forgetting" ... thank you for your words. this really captured something.

This fucking gutted me. I feel you friend.

I feel ya

I have had this visual for years. Same pond by the side of the highway; same instinct draws the pair to nest in its private enclosure of cattails.

Each year I wonder how they ever could get their little ones out safely?

Life is a wonder, and it sucks

"the terrifying heartbreak that comes from following someone who loves us into a world that no longer makes room for soft things." Sigh. These words, the poem.

Oh, this hurts! And oh, indeed, it fits for far more than geese dying...

"my love,

something in

me crossed with them."

This happened to me a month ago!!!! I was hoping they made it but I made the mistake of looking in my rear view mirror to see a cloud of feathers. I get sick to my stomach now when I pass the spot. I'm crying AGAIN....

💔

Ohhhhhh my mama heart🥹 Felt this on a few levels…heartbreaking for certain.

I feel this so deeply. Trusting that the future will bring a kinder,more loving world for us all and for our children and grandchildren with peace in this world instead of the anger and hatred that seems to be so prevalent. I don’t understand how we have reached this point and I don’t want to know. I want to be a part of the better way.

This really breaks my heart on so many levels. Crying is the only relief.

Those last two paragraphs broke my heart.
