A Canadian Goose

The Canadian goose outside our sunroom.
Just blowing, swirling snow
covering the vast field in stark whiteness
And there, alone, appears one Canadian Goose
Looking at us through our sunroom windows,
Stopping to sit on the white blanket,
Offering us something...what?
An angel in disguise?
Sent with a message?
What could it be?
Hope, for some reason comes to mind,
but I’m not sure
I’ll have to dwell on that awhile.
We all need a little hope right now.

I didn't see him walk or fly away,
but eventually he was gone.

Be still and know that I am God…

even in a blizzard.

Psalm 46:10

  1. Valerie, the imagery and message of this poem are so meaningful. Thank you for sharing your beautiful, insightful words and image. Psalm 46:10 is one of my favorite Bible verses for the reminder to “be still,” even in a blizzard.
