What We Need Is Here Comments

So lyrical and simple in truth. I love geese!

Well articulated and nicely brought forth with clarity of thought and mind............................................

Such wise philosophy!

This isn't the full poem. This is the last part of Berry's poem The Wild Geese.

I love this poem on so many levels, it speaks of our connection to the earth and of inter peace and love of family. Thank you Mr. Berry for your lovely and profound work.

The pastor of Zion Lutheran Church in Middletown, Ohio, used this poem as the subject of her sermon today. She sang the poem at the beginning of the sermon and ended with it also. You may hear the sermon on the church's web site at zionluthchurch.com

This is an excellent piece of writing on what matters most in life, and you wrote it so beautifully. I like the way you use enjambment in your lines, it adds to the impact.
