Another Poem from Elizabeth Reninger
To my mind, Elizabeth Reninger is one of our best contemporary poets, especially of verse dealing with nature. She understands fully the connection between nature and spirit, external beauty and inner transcendence. Here she offers the "rough radiant edges" of the "song" of geese in flight. Thank you, Elizabeth.

of a flock
of geese -
a song with no
reason lifts its rough
radiant edges - a winged
migration through
dawn of echoes growing
smaller and smaller ...
