Geese are a favorite part of life, highly relate to freezing in order to see them.

This is beautiful! I've never seen geese used as a symbol of sehnsucht before, but it works perfectly!

I'm glad to see this poem again. It's very fitting for a very wintry day. I don't think I told you, because I was keeping my novel a secret back then, but I almost used Hiraeth as the name for one of my characters. So again, we have similar thoughts but do different things with them.

Oh I like it as a character name!

“A sunward longing calls them toward the warmth,

to reach a far-off home they’ve never seen.”

This was very beautiful.
