~The Dragon Flies' Lair VI ~
December 17,2003 | bentfeather

Posted on 12/17/2003 1:06:51 PM 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...

I drive to work
alone
I sit in my office
alone
I function, I laugh, I smile
alone

Life seems the same.
The burden shifts.
Some days, it lets me breathe.
Some days, it clutches my throat
And my voice is choked by my tears.

Redemption seems so far away
The cold reaches inside me
Grabs, twists, crushes my joy
The mistake I made, I do not know
She never let me tell my side.

How many are like me?
Their faces blank like mine
Walking down the street, I gaze
And I wonder if their tapestry
Is as heavy as mine.

Sounds like a challenge Snippy and Feather

A challenge. LOL. I don't think I could come close. Of course I'll give it a try but it will have to wait a little while.

This is my busy time at work, maybe by the end of this month I can take the time to sit down long enough without anything else to do an give it a try.

Sam does sing in the car and I happen to like it! Besides, the dogs howling in the background is an added bonus. ;-)

Background singers. Nothin' like a band.

Keiko



When Keiko died,
was buried
And his lovely
carcass viewed
There were those
who wanted him
canned and sold
as food.
Everyone by now
should know
That's not possible
to do.
You cannot have
your Keiko
And hope
to eat it,
too.
