~The Dragon Flies Lair III~
October 18, 2003 | bentfeather

Posted on 10/18/2003 7:27:28 AM 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 guides
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...

In the Back of a Truck in the Country



The swirling rush
Half-obscures my view
With hair and roaring wind

The smooth liquid Earth-breath
Coats my skin
Manes my hair
And squints my eyes, while

The purpleorange heat-lightning on the horizon
Coaxes
And smirks
And badgers me
For wanting to beat my brother to shotgun

Sam,

Love this poem!

Fond are the days when the kids jumped into the back of our pick-up and headed out for raccoon hunting with their dad, or the swimming hole on hot summer nights.
Remember I have four daughters!!! LOL

Just now listening to the tunes, fantastic choice Sam.

Love all the tunes.

Thanks for Donuts and coffee, I was feared we would have to have some of Darksheare's brew!! LOL

Save a Donut for radu when she comes flying in the early a.m. hours. LOL

Gotta to love this Vampire with a sweet tooth!!

The below won't make any sense without the band's video.
See if you notice anything amiss about how the guy in the video effects his enviironment.
Or more correctly, doesn't?
The video is on the above page, Should be the top one "Someday"

Nickelback - "Someday"

How the hell did we wind up like this
Why weren't we able
To see the signs that we missed
And try to turn the tables

I wish you'd unclench your fists
And unpack your suitcase
Lately there's been too much of this
Dont think its too late

Nothin's wrong
just as long as
you know that someday I will

Someday, somehow
gonna make it allright but not right now
I know you're wondering when
(You're the only one who knows that)
Someday, somehow
gonna make it allright but not right now
I know you're wondering when

Well i hoped that since we're here anyway
We could end up saying
Things we've always needed to say
So we could end up stringing
Now the story's played out like this
Just like a paperback novel
Lets rewrite an ending that fits
Instead of a hollywood horror

Nothin's wrong
just as long as
you know that someday I will

Someday, somehow
gonna make it allright but not right now
I know you're wondering when
(You're the only one who knows that)
Someday, somehow
gonna make it allright but not right now
I know you're wondering when
(You're the only one who knows that)

Absolutely sure?
There's all kinds of weird, and then there's goth.

Check out 27 and tell me if the link takes you to the vid page.
(I couldn't get it to do a direct link...)
Then the rest of post 27 makes sense once the video is seen.

I just was there and had to download a (curses) *Netscape* player to see the video. Have to restart my little iMAC. Tell you in a bit.

OKers.
:-/
I shall look elsewhere for the vid then.
Without it, the lyrics don't really make any sense here.

I liked the video. That jeep took one hell of a hit.

He didn't leave footprints in the spilled milk. ;-)

I have a blue and orange duster does that count?

As long as we are still talking about feather dusters and not dresses. :)

Yes, it did take a hell of a hit, teh rear window pops out and flies.
Did you notice that he's right behind the Jeep and isn't visible in the rearview mirror?
And the newspaper article in the paper dispenser?
Poor guy's dead and doesn't know it throughout the whole video.
