~The Dragon Flies' Lair~Thread XIV~
July 23, 2004 | bentfeather and Poets of the Lair

Posted on 07/23/2004 4:39:59 PM PDT by Soaring Feather

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 guide
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...

When my daughter called today and related this story to me, immediately I began to see all the horrible things that could have, but did not happen.

He was protected.

The action he took was to call the tow truck and then hit the ice to practice. Life just goes on doesn't it?

I guess fractures do happen and people just move on.

Well.. with our brother, the oldest of we three miscreants, it may be hard to tell if he fractured his skull, stove it in, emptied it's contents, or merely is vacant since with him the symptoms would all be the same.
There are times we wonder if he really IS our brother..

The fact that he still walks and breathes after his misadventures points to God being generous -extremely- and my brother kinda doesn't see that yet.

(How else to explain someone being crushed into the dirt by the top ten foot of a tree landing on them, and no injuries?)

Our brother is liekly either extremely lucky, extremely tough, or has a VERY overworked angel guarding him.
*chuckle*

LOL!
I hope not!
I do suspect that there's an overworked guardian Angel there, probably with a massive headache from having to intercept large bludgeon like objects.
(My brother has been hit with enough stuff to certify him as being impact densened.)

THE WHITE BIRDS



I would that we were, my beloved, white birds on the foam of the sea!
We tire of the flame of the meteor, before it can fade and flee;
And the flame of the blue star of twilight, hung low on the rim of the sky,
Has awakened in our hearts, my beloved, a sadness that may not die.

A weariness comes from those dreamers, dew-dabbled, the lily and rose;
Ah, dream not of them, my beloved, the flame of the meteor that goes,
Or the flame of the blue star that lingers hung low in the fall of the dew:
For I would we were changed to white birds on the wandering foam: I and you!

I am haunted by numberless islands, and many a Danaan shore,
Where Time would surely forget us, and Sorrow come near us no more;
Soon far from the rose and the lily, and fret of the flames would we be,
Were we only white birds, my beloved, buoyed out on the foam of the sea!

W.B. Yeats

Tears from reading the words.

Thank You for all.

Morning!

”We will Prevail”




He accepts the challenge still,
As “four more years” we chant.
He’s the man to lead us on,
We all know Kerry can’t.

Bush has the moral courage,
We’ll back him through the fight.
He’ll never blink or falter,
For he has seen the light.

The terrorists are running,
Our troops will take them out.
We know the fight will take time,
That’s what, it’s all about.

Time to act and not back down,
So high our Flag will sail.
Bush Cheney in November,
We know, “We will Prevail.”

To: All
On this day the poet's dance
and waltz around the word romance
If you want to take a chance
rhyme some words
in a lively reel
turning your poetic wheel
dancing and spinning
stories of lore
and love and laughter, evermore.
