Notes About The Poem

Tribute To Judy Konos Flying

Flying
Tribute to Judy Konos

She came from out of nowhere
like an angel in mid flight.
Crashing through the shadows
and shining like a light.

She challenged me to rise again
to dry tears from my eye.
She challenged me to spread my wings
and she taught me to fly.

Stranded in my shadows
her voice was ringing true.
She captured me and raptured me
she helped to push me through.

Things that one time bound
I didn't even know.
She helped me take hold of it
and then to let it go.

Unburdened by my yesterdays
unbridled by tomorrow.
She came to me then set me free
and banished all my sorrow.

An angel sent from heaven
that taught so many things.
Then as she stood watching
breathed wind into my wings.

No longer kept in sadness
in tears that I am crying.
Look at me! Come quick and see
at last I'm finally flying!

Edwin C Hofert
