~The Dragon Flies' Lair IV~
November 7, 2003 | bentfeather

Posted on 11/07/2003 5:42:23 AM PST 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 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...

Yes, especially when hit by a Panther-inspired 75MM HE round. :)

I have real player so it just doesn't make sense. I can't ever play you morning coffee and donut tunes at work either.

That's cuz you write so dang much of it. LOL.

Look how much I wrote in just a few weeks time. LOL. When it rains it pours. We don't mind seeing your writing two or three or how ever many times you post it. We're anxiously awaiting your book so we can read it again!!

Well, snippy I am working on the book, too!!

Not too much to do there, just choosing my work, creating the table of contents, designing the cover and back cover.

Right now I can't write. There are workmen in my apt. Painters, electricans, plaster work being done. New washer and drier coming next week.

I have now two new ceiling fixtures hung today. The ceilings newly painted and the kitchen being done.


Maddness now. Everyone walking over eveyone else.

I am in a corner with my puter to escape from it.
Getting sick from paint fumes.

Columbia Crew

Their dream will live
they gave their all
they were tall

Now in halls
lighting the skies they fly
They are looking in

at the edge of time
standing on the rim
seeing the beauty
of the cosmos with
angel eyes...

Standing in the midst
of the mighty
White fleet of heaven's
angelic messengers

Yes they are tall...Yes,
Gone too, Soon

Thank you for the re-post. You have a true gift. The ability to reach into the heart is something not everyone can do.

I've had so much fun here today I have hardly had time to get to the old homestead (the Foxhole). Sorry, Sam - will read the thread tonight!

Oh I have windows open and go on the porch for a breath of fresh air. I can't keep the front doors open, other apts up stairs and we are a safe house. Locked doors all the time. High crime in this jerk water College Town.
