Flying Home...
Cool grey skies overcast blanket, Corn-stubble muted tawny gold, Canada geese blend into either, As the grasses join in to wave goodbye, Summer's fireflies long gone.
I watch my breath drift off to Heaven, Draw my jacket a bit tighter, Daydream of places that I used to be.
As simple as a burst milkweed pod sends seeds on October breezes, As easy as Autumn leaves fall to Earth, As natural as a flock of geese in formation.
I am flying home, Just in those moments.

Thank you, Rick. A little reminiscent of the Great Lakes area where I grew up at this time of year.

Dan, here you take imagery of nature and weave it into a poem of deeply felt nostalgia. The originality of your imagery along with that poignant ending left me wistful on this lonely autumn afternoon.

I'm originally from far Southern Wisconsin, and my grandparents were from the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. I also spent nearly 20 years working in the Chicago Loop. That area is in my bones. Dan
