The Geese

Today I caught sight of the geese 
flying in a v-formation flock above my head.  

I had forgotten how they do that. 

How they have learned to fly together in such a perfectly, imperfect point of direction. 
In such a linear, similar way. 

I felt sadness at first and caught myself grimacing. 
The last time I'd witnessed their well-structured flight it had been nearing winter. 

But then I reminded myself that they were simply returning for spring. 

So I remembered to smile.

The Hedge

It's getting harder to notice where you hit the hedge with your car. 

It took a few years, but it's branches are beginning to burst and bloom. 
It's sharp pine needles finally flourishing and filling in the gaps that your hood had left. 

Now even the scarred foliage seems to be smirking at what you did. 

It's triumph much more than just another act of nature.
