Wait for the Sun
I'm stuck in the mud
while I wait for
the sun to set me free.
The rain's been hard.
The rain's been long.
It keeps the days dark
as though they were nights.
But, I believe the light
will break through and
the mud will wash off.
So, I keep standing
while I wait for
the sun to set me free.
I am a poet and photographer who likes sports, jazz and art inspired by other art. I served in the U.S. Marine Corps during the early 1970's and was assigned to the Computer Sciences School in Quantico, VA. I have published a chapbook of grief poems, I Keep You with Me. My work also has appeared in publications such as Thorny Locust Magazine, core. zine,The Enigmatist, Veterans' Voices and Kansas Time + Place An Anthology of Heartland Poetry. My visual art pieces combine poetry and photographs, and have been most recently displayed at InterUrban ArtHouse, Johnson County Arts & Heritage Center, Buttonwood Art Space, and The Smalter Gallery.
