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 me...
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...

The Guy I Shave
Do not seek reproach of him,
for his intent was always of the heart.
though scribed historys record is slim,
he was, in the end, still of it all, a part.
How oft did he seek to make amends indeed,
only to be rebuffed by such errant fools.
Their act to censure him for his equal deeds,
and so the chance lost to this poor fates tool.
Let the passing wind sing soft of him then,
and perchance some ear to hear the truth at last.
For in the end he is one of us, the simple truth again,
though he is locked within the mirror of my universe.

Spinning
A wreath is a loop, its a circular thing,
But the way of our ways is more spiral than ring.
It circles around, that is true in its way,
But it doesnt come back to the point where it lay.
It just carries on forward and makes a new start,
Putting down fresh material to cover that part.
A spiral, a turning, a twisting around,
As days follow days like the manna we found.
For manna from Heaven is the time we receive,
Every day, every morning, then we get up and leave,
Our abode and our comfort, in trust that well find,
It will be there to hold us and help us unwind.
Every day as we dance, through our pirouette style,
We lay out our moments like a gossamer mile,
Of thin silken fibers of dreams and intent,
As we spin our lifes work in the days that weve spent.
With our neighbors and friends as we dodge and we dance,
With the warp and the weft, and some colors perchance,
We are making a tapestry, each one in our way,
Contributes a part with his actions that day.
And Who is the artist? The Weaver sublime?
The patient Director Who gathers up time?
Why Who else would it be but the Master of days,
Making silk from the cobwebs weve strewn in His ways.

Hi Bob,
Lovely.
And Who is the artist? The Weaver sublime?
The patient Director Who gathers up time?
Why Who else would it be but the Master of days,
Making silk from the cobwebs weve strewn in His ways.
Very cleaver your alignment of words to form an inner circle.
Thank You.
To: HopeandGlory
Good evening, Hope!
LOL
Gardening is tough!

Cool weather peas, now that is interesting. Today the temp may have reached 70F, and tonight is going to 53F.
How's that for cool peas growing??

I'll take your weather over mine right now . . . but . . . come winter, I'll hang out right here . . .;-)
Penquin Girl called from Arizona today and said, "Mama, it's pouring down rain, it's only 68 degrees, the streets are flooding and I can't make it to the University because all the underpasses are flooded." She only had one class today, so she e-mailed her Professor and got her class schedule and was able to do her lesson at home . . . AH!!! . . .the marvels of modern technology.
