The poignant Wendell Berry poem provided the inspiration for this special piece. Sensitive music it is, with beautiful melodies, both rare treats for male singers.

Geese appear high over us,
pass, and the sky closes. Abandon,
as in love or sleep, holds
them to their way, clear
in the ancient faith: what we need
is here. And we pray, not
for new earth or heaven, but to be
quiet in heart, and in eye,
clear. What we need is here. 

by Wendell Berry
