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...

Thank You snippy, the Colonel is a good dancer.

Good morning, everyone!

Finally, Friday. I am very happy to have a weekend coming up. Sort of staggering to the finish. :)

[Colonel_Flagg]

A broken heart will heal. :-)

I hope so. I'm a little tired of bleeding all over everything. Most unseemly.

And good morning to you!

[Colonel_Flagg]

Why, thank you :) And how is my friend today?

[Soaring Feather]

Good morning Colonel, happy Friday!

[snippy_about_it]

And how is my friend today?

I'd like to be applying pressure to your wound! I would if I could. Bleeding all over, stop that! ;-)

I'm doing okay, it's Friday and that's a good thing. Lots to do and this is a busy time at work for me. I wish I could have joined you all last night but I fear I'll be very busy the rest of the month, dropping in when I can.

My free time is of course for my first love, the Foxhole, then I'll steal away a moment for feathers Lair, my second home away from home.

I'm sure to visit everyday but won't have much time to write. That's what I get for usually writing lengthy prose. LOL.

I'm glad we caught each other this morning.

[snippy_about_it]

...staggering to the finish.

That's a clever way to describe Fridays. So true.

[Colonel_Flagg]

I will stop by the Foxhole later this morning. A busy day but moving along nicely. After all, the Foxhole is special. :)

Meanwhile, I offer this for your morning:

The Presence Of Love
Samuel Taylor Coleridge

And in Life's noisiest hour,
There whispers still the ceaseless Love of Thee,
The heart's Self-solace and soliloquy.
______________________

You mould my Hopes, you fashion me within ;
And to the leading Love-throb in the Heart
Thro' all my Being, thro' my pulses beat ;
You lie in all my many Thoughts, like Light,
Like the fair light of Dawn, or summer Eve
On rippling Stream, or cloud-reflecting Lake.
And looking to the Heaven, that bends above you,
How oft ! I bless the Lot, that made me love you.

The Presence Of Love


That's very pretty Colonel, thank you.

Lunch time now for me. Out into the bitter cold. See you later. :-)

Sorry to hear that Trike. I know a lot of people in the samne situation and it doesn't get any easier to hear about. Any prospects or is the job market as bad as it is here in Oregon?

[SAMWolf]

Good Morning Everybody.

A Little Perspective



Let me teach you.
When you are tense, let me teach you to relax.
When you are short tempered, let me teach you to be patient.
When you are short sighted, let me teach you to see.
When you are quick to react, let me teach you to be thoughtful.
When you are angry, let me teach you to be serene.
When you feel superior, let me teach you to be respectful.
When you are self-absorbed, let me teach you to think of greater things.
When you are arrogant, let me teach you humility.
When you are lonely, let me be your companion.
When you are tired, let me carry the load.
When you need to learn, let me teach you.
After all, I am your horse.

Cute horse picture, odd ending to the poetry, but what do I know. LOL. Thanks for the tunes too.

[SAMWolf]

Obviously written by someone who is a horse lover.

[snippy_about_it]

Hey, we could change it to "after all, I am your dog". There, that's better, now it makes sense to me. ;-)

[Soaring Feather]

Let me teach you.

What a lesson here today Sam. It's a wonderful poem. Thank You so much for this gift today, I really needed it.

Loving the tunes, too. :-)

When I Need You. :-)

[SAMWolf]

LOL! I thought of doing that but didin't feel it was rigght to change someone else's poem. I think dog fits better too.

[Soaring Feather]

Hi Colonel,

I'll work on a response to your work. :-)

Thank You.

[Colonel_Flagg]

You're most welcome, but Coleridge deserves the thanks! :)

[Colonel_Flagg]

And sometime, I will post a poem dedicated to those who break hearts. It ain't pretty. :)
