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...

The Weaver

My life is but a weaving, between my God and me,
I do not choose the colors, He worketh steadily.
Ofttimes he weaveth sorrow, and I in foolish pride
Forget He sees the upper, and I the underside.
Not till the loom is silent, and the shuttles cease to fly,
Will God unroll the canvas, and explain the reasons why
The dark threads are as needful in the skillful weaver's hand
As threads of gold and silver in the pattern He has planned.

He knows, He loves, He cares,
Nothing this truth can dim.
He gives His very best to those
Who leave the choice with Him.

A Woven Life

The fabric of my life
woven string by string.
First string of childhood memories,
as cobwebs in an attic.

Making a fanatic for weaving
fabric from shards of glass, bits
and pieces of interrupted maturation.

Interrupted by shocking
hurtful events to the psyche,
crushing the spirit til nearly dead.

Oh—Hallelujah ridges span cross
the depths of despair—
opening to roads of lamé and silver.
Festooned with diamonds and jade.
Purple surrounds the flowering soul.
Life…

Ogden Nash said, "Don't try to rewrite what the moving finger has writ,
and don't ever look over your shoulder."

Today is Friday, Nov. 28, 2003.
The moon is waxing.
The morning stars are Jupiter and Saturn.
The evening stars are Venus, Mars,
Mercury, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto.

Captain Heart

A lavender gown faded tattered 

hung in the closet  

a faint aroma of lavender  

drifted from the old garment  

She stood at midnight  

moonlight beaming in  

through the window  

her silky silhouette tall, lean,  

beauty, in lavender lace  

Bone China face  

hands of a fragile femme  

opulent riches surround  

her frame while she  

celebrates the ceremony  

meant for two... two glasses  

lavender roses...  

dinner in chambers  

midnight love  

Moving with the grace  

of a fragile butterfly  

her movements  

synchronized with  

full moon waxing yellow glow  

toward a shadowy figure  

emerging from a black recess 

the Captain of her heart  

symphony of exquisite rhapsody  

of love...candlelight and moonbeams  

Captain of Her Heart...

[Soaring Feather]

I do not know what I may appear to the world; but to myself I seem to have been only like a boy playing on the sea-shore, and diverting myself in now and then finding a smoother pebble or a prettier shell than ordinary, whilst the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me.


Author: Sir Isaac Newton (1642-1727) English physicist

STAIND "So Far Away"

This is my life
It's not what it was before
All these feelings I've shared
And these are my dreams
that I'd never lived before
Somebody shake me 'cause I
I must be sleeping

Now that we're here,
it's so far away
All the struggle we thought was in vain
All the mistakes,
one life contained
They all finally start to go away
Now that we're here it's so far away
And I feel like I can face the day
I can forgive, and I'm not ashamed
To be the person that I am today

These are my words
That I've never said before
I think I'm doing okay
And this is the smile
That I've never shown before

Somebody shake me 'cause I
I must be sleeping

Now that we're here,
it's so far away
All the struggle we thought was in vain
All the mistakes,
one life contained
They all finally start to go away
Now that we're here it's so far away
And I feel like I can face the day
I can forgive, and I'm not ashamed
To be the person that I am today

I'm so afraid of waking
Please don't shake me
Afraid of waking
Please don't shake me

Nice work.

Not mine, it's by Staind, a semi-metal rock band.
But I like the song.
If I could find a GOOD link to the song..
but one has to slog through www.staind.com and hit the albums button.
Then you see the page listing lyrics and the tunes.
Or, at least, you should.
*chuckle*

Watching your eyes
feeling I was embraced
your drove away learning love
and M is everything... that matters.

Being here is strange
blasting me with your kiss
Show the patience of the hunter
redeeming me with the catch
So precious you know
until your mind exploded
I'm so deranged you know
I will never be the same

About all I have of it at the moment, inspired by a song.
Probably perpetually unfinished.

[Soaring Feather]

On gossamer wings
the Dragon Fly sings
his song of love..
Poets' know from where
he goes.. the Dragon Fly
who has no toes.

Autumn



Silent nests in fleshless trees,
Which shed dry green tears
In a crying wind.
