The Dragon Flies' Lair~Thread XXI~
June 26, 2005 | bentfeather/Poets of the Lair

Posted on 06/25/2005 9:22:33 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 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 history’s 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 fate’s 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, it’s 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 doesn’t       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 we’ll 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 life’s work                  in the days that we’ve 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 we’ve strewn in His ways. NicknamedBob. . . . . . . August 23, 2005

I waited,

I pleaded,
I mulched,
I gulched,
I watered,
I waited,
I fumbled,
I grumbled,
I poked,
I hoped,
so
GROW . . . DAMMIT!"

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 we’ve strewn in His ways.


Very cleaver your alignment of words to form an inner circle.

Thank You.

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.

Great, she got her assignment, and she is safe and sound.

The Internet is an awesome and terrible thing.
