Geese hit the Wall

One day I heard the loud honking sound of a flock of geese. I stood watching the skies for several minutes before the sky above me was filled with hundreds of those magnificent Canadian birds. The leading V formation was replaced by the next team as they supported each other on their journey. I stared up mesmerized by the dynamics. Some lagged behind and formed their own V formation. Others appeared to be recharged and moved to the front line. I kept watching. The front line approached the white lines in the sky. Technically they should have kept flying if it was cloud formations. Instead, when the birds reached the white lines it was like they hit a wall. The front line scattered in every direction and the flock broke into chaos. I watched as the birds kept flying helter skelter until some went in one direction and others took off in another direction. Whatever they hit was not natural. My heart cried for the birds that day and for the rest of the living things on this planet. SM
