~The Dragon Flies' Lair Thread XI~

My Dragon Fly and Me

If I could be a Dragon Fly
and wing my way through the sky
I would never be shy
just me and my Dragon Fly!

By moonlight we ride the wind
chase the comets tail for fun
by day we would hide from the sun
our fragile wings would come undone

On darkest nights we would use
fireflies as our guides
we would dip and we would glide
through the heavens open wide
and scatter diamonds in the night sky
my Dragon Fly and I...

And we would wing past our lovers
silent in the night...
to kiss their face in our flight
much to their surprise and delight
my Dragon Fly and me in sight...

Such a view do we share
away up here in the air
of breezes soft through our hair
my Dragon Fly and me a pair...

Sometimes people carry to such perfection the mask they have assumed that in due course they actually become the person they seem.
--W. Somerset Maugham (1874 - 1965), The Moon and Sixpence

Everyone has the obligation to ponder well his own specific traits of character. He must also regulate them adequately and not wonder whether someone else's traits might suit him better. The more definitely his own a man's character is, the better it fits him.
--Cicero (106 BC - 43 BC)

Lovely work, very exciting, full of emotion straining to hold in check and break free at the same time.

STRAY CAT



Oh, what unhappy twist of fate
Has brought you homeless to my gate?
The gate where once another stood
To beg for shelter, warmth, and food
For from that day I ceased to be
The master of my destiny.

While he, with purr and velvet paw
Became within my house the law.
He scratched the furniture and shed
And claimed the middle of my bed.

He ruled in arrogance and pride
And broke my heart the day he died.
So if you really think, oh Cat,
I'd willingly relive all that
Because you come forlorn and thin
Well...don't just stand there...Come on in!

Francis Witham

Awwww. This is a wonderful find about loving cats. Dogs with wings and now stray cats. Your pulling at our heart strings here. ;-)

The music is waking me up. "Ain't nothin' like the real thing, baby"!

Thank You. I do believe the text to be written by Old Sarge, the graphic was the question not the text.
