Flying Home

Flying Home

The geese appear overhead--the lake is frozen

Honks sound in celebration--the open space calls

Feet come down like landing gear--the surface glimmers

They touch the icy runway--the ice holds its own

This poem is an Imayo.

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.

Getting Started

Getting Started

Why am I

afraid to start?

Frozen in place,

unable to take action.

Why can't I get

a lift from a

new endeavor?

Accept that I may

not land where

I planned, but

where I am

supposed to be.

Remember, I may

always start again.

The Descent

The Descent

Come down

through the clouds,

encased in hazy white.

The ride may shake you,

shift you from side-to-side,

drop you until you rise.

When you emerge from

the vapory cocoon, you

will see the world

as you know it

awaiting your return.
