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...

Morning

[Soaring Feather]

George Gordon, Lord Byron
(1788-1824)

I Saw Thee Weep
by George Gordon, Lord Byron

I saw thee weep---the big bright tear
Came o'er that eye of blue;
And then methought it did appear
A violet dropping dew:
I saw thee smile---the sapphire's blaze
Beside thee ceased to shine;
It could not match the living rays
That filled that glance of thine.
As clouds from yonder sun receive
A deep and mellow dye,
Which scarce the shade of coming eve
Can banish from the sky,
Those smiles unto the moodiest mind
Their own pure joy impart;
Their sunshine leaves a glow behind
That lightens o'er the heart.

[Soaring Feather]

Well your circling just got you the #500 post!
WOO HOO

[Colonel_Flagg]

Good morning!

I am indeed :)

[snippy_about_it]

Thanks for the selection of tunes today. I like dreaming the impossible. :-)

[Colonel_Flagg]

Ah, Byron! :)

Here's my morning offering ..

When We Two Parted

When we two parted
In silence and tears,
Half broken-hearted
To sever for years,

Pale grew thy cheek and cold,
Colder thy kiss;
Truly that hour foretold
Sorrow to this.

The dew of the morning
Sunk chill on my brow--
It felt like the warning
Of what I feel now.

Thy vows are all broken,
And light is thy fame;
I hear thy name spoken,
And share in its shame.

They name thee before me,
A knell to mine ear;
A shudder comes o'er me--
Why wert thou so dear?

They know not I knew thee,
Who knew thee too well:--
Long, long shall I rue thee,
Too deeply to tell.

In secret we met--
In silence I grieve
That thy heart could forget,
Thy spirit deceive.

If I should meet thee
After long years,
How should I greet thee?--
With silence and tears.

George Gordon, Lord Byron

In the year 2525. I don't know if we can go on much past that. :-(

[snippy_about_it]

In the year 2525 I plan to be out of town.

Me too!

[Conspiracy Guy]

We'll probably be at the same place.

[Darksheare]

"And he blunders right smack into the 500! Have you ever seen such carnage race fans?"
*chuckle*

Got this floating through my head at the moment:

Sullen angel, don't lie to me
There's more to life than what you see
Though it's all just Mystery
The warmth of your arms is comforting

[snippy_about_it]

We'll probably be at the same place.

Good. So who is bringing the drinks and who is bringing the snacks? ;-)

[Conspiracy Guy]

All of that will be provided ; )

[Soaring Feather]

If I should meet thee
After long years,
How should I greet thee?--
With silence and tears.

Oh my gosh Colonel, that's so beautiful and so sad.

[Soaring Feather]

The warmth of your arms is comforting

to me...
The light of thine eyes
my guiding light
crystal and clear
in the night
Oh do come to comfort me
and spread thy velvet wings
way out
and beckon me with a feather shout..

[Darksheare]

Interesting.
Thanks!

[Colonel_Flagg]

Some days I have a hard time reading Byron. Which is very unfortunate. Not surprisingly, I have a fair amount of Byron in my collection.

[Soaring Feather]

Dusk descends from mist
and hissing comets
enticing our dawns,
under Blue stars

Come my tears rising within
a crimson flame of love
arching under a celestial sky
softly desiring eyes o violet's darkness
breathing in shudders

LOL! It's still a good song. :-) I think my wife has window washing planned for that year.

[Conspiracy Guy]

Remember "Fire" from the Crazy World of Arther Brown.

[SAMWolf]

Yep. Got it on a 45. :-)
