Swan Overlook

The sorrows of the day
lie heavy.
I seek solace,
I wander to peace.

There on calm waters
are the geese,
deliberate, philosophical,
accepting.

With infinite grace
they rise, scan, return.

Theirs not to question;
Theirs to accept with unrealized
gratitude.

Do I hear them say:
"Go thou and do likewise."

-Olga Laird Hinckley
