~The Dragon Flies' Lair~Thread XIII~
June 13, 2004 | bentfeather and Poets of The Lair

Posted on 06/13/2004 8:15:45 PM PDT 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...

My beloved Mount Hood.

I thought I'd seen that before, like yesterday on the way to get a hamburger. ;-)

morning glory



the morning brings joy
silently slipping in beside me
i am gently aroused by your presence
a smile sweeps across my face
my heart warms
you are here
and i am filled will love

Good morning everyone! I hope you are all off to a great start this week. I think I've turned the corner at last - feeling quite well this morning :)

Sonnet---to Genevra
George Gordon, Lord Byron

Thy cheek is pale with thought, but not from woe,
And yet so lovely, that if Mirth could flush
Its rose of whiteness with the brightest blush,
My heart would wish away that ruder glow:
And dazzle not thy deep-blue eyes---but, oh!
While gazing on them sterner eyes will gush,
And into mine my mother's weakness rush,
Soft as the last drops round Heaven's airy bow.
For, though thy long dark lashes low depending,
The soul of melancholy Gentleness
Gleams like a Seraph from the sky descending,
Above all pain, yet pitying all distress;
At once such majesty with sweetness blending,
I worship more, but cannot love thee less.

I came to You late, O Beauty so ancient and new. I came to love You late. You were within me and I was outside where I rushed about wildly searching for You like some monster loose in Your beautiful world. You were with me but I was not with You. You called me, You shouted to me, You wrapped me in Your Splendour, You broke past my deafness, You bathed me in Your Light, You sent my blindness reeling. You gave out such a delightful fragrance and I drew it in and came breathing hard after You. I tasted, and it made me hunger and thirst; You touched me, and I burned to know Your Peace.

St. Augustine of Hippo

GARAGE SALE JUNKY



Gotta admit -- I'm a garage sale junky;
Huntin' for stuff from priceless to funky.
Always in search of that ultimate treasure
That will fill me with the ultimate pleasure.
If I must, I do it alone.
With money in hand, I brave the unknown.
Following signs from sale to sale --
Woe to those who stand in my trail.

Pedal to the metal to get there first --
Driven to quench this unending thirst.
Vaulting out of my car with unleashed zest,
Hoping to satisfy this nagging quest.
This quest has become a sick obsession
To find that ideal worldly possession!
Treasure abounding -- some one of a kind!
There's no way of knowing what I might find!

An electric blanket missing a cord,
Some tarot cards, and a Ouija board.
A tattered skateboard with urethane wheels,
Two Veg-A-Matics, and three Seal-A-Meals!
A tired, retired, one-eyed bear
A faded, corroded floating pool chair.

Kid's pet hamsters with bulging bellies.
Ten-year-old homemade jams and jellies.
Baby food, Mason, and mayonnaise jars,
An Elvis decanter, and three-wheeled cars.
A box of assorted fine costume jewels.
Another with greasy, tattered old tools.
A fine old floor lamp minus a plug.
Only a dime for a handleless mug!

Exercycles and other reducers,
A yogurt maker, and orange juicers.
A patched-up beachball that doesn't hold air.
A once-loved dolly that used to have hair.
A chair that only needs a new cover.
A book of "Lady Chatterly's Lover".
A ball and shoes for the would-be bowler.
A minibike and a baby stroller.

A Mickey Mouse watch with only one hand.
A crusty and rusty iron plant stand.
A set of eight glasses (no two alike).
A broken down one-speed, seatless bike.
A Nehru jacket, and some Gucci shoes.
Old Playboys, and Hustlers, and U.S. News.
Bike parts, and car parts, and spare parts galore.
Headboards and slant boards, and surf boards and more!

By now you can see I can't get enough.
I keep hauling home magnificent stuff!
I stack it all up from ceiling to floor.
It's getting so I can't open a door.
My garage is full; my closets are bulging.
I don't have space for much more indulging.

Now listen, my friend, when I'm old and grey,
And when it is time to put me away,
Just stuff my old body in an old trunk
And bury me 'neath my lovely old junk.

Carol A.
