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...

You're welcome!

The Aspen, Beechwood, Maple, too, long ago
shed their leaves
dormant now shivering cold
bared, naked now in cold winter's winds
howling down upon their bones
from mountain's unmerciful blasts
icy cold, barren and bleak.

Memories of Summer Wine
sweet and fine,
linger in the air
warm mountain breezes
carefree hearts,
writing the book of memory in the sun.

While in the Tamarack cool, calm prevails.
Bunny rabbits with fluffy white tails, romp the dale
Black Eyed Susans cover the fields
Queen Anne's Lace abounds around
bee trees emitting a sweet smelling aroma
Princess Pine spreading her gown
while the Wood Cock struts the ground.

Memories etched deep in stone
the wind and trees never are alone.

Help Me Lord

Lord give me patience... 

let me see only beauty 

in thy works 

shield mine eyes 

to others faults 

show me mine... 

Help Lord me to be every mindful 

of thy forgiving grace.

At Zenith lurks

Not full but half a moon

Lurking above

I gaze straight up

Despite crunched neck and challenged eyes

So I looked straight up

Gazing upon the half lit moon.

Only if I could express my awe.

 

[Soaring Feather]

With eyes amazed by the skies
I look up to see a moon
not quiet alseep or awake
In dreamy repose I choose
to gaze in awe
at the lovers ball
of softly glowing light

[Radix]

I search for the proper poem

Darned if I can find it

Lots of works pass my way

Nothing fits the bill

All I have is a quest

Gazing at celestial bodies will not ease my pain

So I engage the world in an intricate search

Only sleep it seems will end this path

 

[Soaring Feather]

Radix, what a wonderful idea. I checked all the links and will go back for more reading.

Thanks so much.

Good nite poets

May the sweet aroma of Lily of the Valley
fill your dreams
caress your face
tenderly lull you to sleep
in the safety of knowing love...

~ Dream a Little ~ Love a Lot ~

I remember the color your hair was...
the color of spiced rum
With memories of you
walking without me
in gentle oriental rain
Left me with dreams
of being lost in your embrace.
The peace in your eyes
shone through
I was lost, lost
in your eyes
..........lost
in your embrace...
Dreams of you at Indian Twilight...

Typos, and I don't wanna bother with 'em right now..

[Soaring Feather]

Morning, Darks!

What's the weather like down your way? Overcast here and kinda sticky.

Had your famous brew yet??

[Darksheare]

Overcast, damp, and clammy.
Having something that passes for coffee at the moment.

Good Morning Everybody.

The Last Leaf



I saw him once before,
As he passed by the door,
And again
The pavement stones resound,
As he totters o'er the ground
With his cane.

They say that in his prime,
Ere the pruning-knife of Time
Cut him down,
Not a better man was found
By the Crier on his round
Through the town.

But now he walks the streets,
And looks at all he meets
Sad and wan,
And he shakes his feeble head,
That it seems as if he said,
"They are gone."

The mossy marbles rest
On the lips that he has prest
In their bloom,
And the names he loved to hear
Have been carved for many a year
On the tomb.

My grandmamma has said
Poor old lady, she is dead
Long ago
That he had a Roman nose,
And his cheek was like a rose
In the snow;

But now his nose is thin,
And it rests upon his chin
Like a staff,
And a crook is in his back,
And a melancholy crack
In his laugh.

I know it is a sin
For me to sit and grin
At him here;
But the old three-cornered hat,
And the breeches, and all that,
Are so queer!

And if I should live to be
The last leaf upon the tree
In the spring,
Let them smile, as I do now,
At the old forsaken bough
Where I cling.

Good morning, Sam!!!

WOW, wonderful poem this morning! When I started reading the poem I did not look at the author's name. I thought WOW this poem is so well written. Well, of course, one of the masters penned it. :-)


Love all the tunes today. Always did love South of the Border.
