The Dragonflies'Lair ~ Thread LV ~ Anniversary Thread
Poets of the Lair | August 1, 2008 | Soaring Feather

Posted on 08/01/2008 6:23:53 AM PDT by Soaring Feather





My Dragonfly 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...

Oh yes, several times. Absolutely love it, Sean Connery is the voice of Draco.

That’s a constellation, not amovie. Sean Connery talks to it?

Sean Connery is the voice of Draco, the Dragon, hence the constellation link.

When Draco dies he goes to his constellation.

Good Morning To The Lair


The guided-missile destroyers USS Pinckney (DDG 91), *USS Chung-Hoon (DDG 93)* and USS O’Kane (DDG 77), the guided-missile cruiser USS Lake Erie (CG 70) and the
guided-missile frigate USS Reuben James (FFG 57) sail near Waikiki Beach in Pearl
Harbor, Hawaii, July 29, 2008, in honor of the centennial of the Great White Fleet.

The Great White Fleet was the nickname for the U.S. Navy battle fleet that completed a circumnavigation of the globe from Dec. 16, 1907, to Feb. 22, 1909, by order of President Theodore Roosevelt.


*USS Chung-Hoon (DDG 93)* is my grandson's new ship assignment for the coming
deployment of "Easy Riders" of Helicopter Anti-Submarine Squadron (Light) (HSL) 37

*GO NAVY*

Good morning, everyone!

A Class in Wisdom


Like sand slipping through Fate’s ancient hourglass,
time flows past me at its own speed, never to return.
I have studied much of life along the weary way,
only to discover there is oh so much to learn,
and every bitter-sweet lesson has a price, alas!


Wisdom is the sum of knowledge learned along the way,
from sometimes complex experiences we moved through
And as each moment lived its time and then did pass,
all too oft, that experience was bad, yet we’d still do,
for the moments grand they encompassed, we still will pay.
