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

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...

We sure are. America is strong, her people are strong, and we remember all that makes our nation the greatest on this earth.

Sunny, some clouds.
Mild warmth, not oppressive yet.
Light breezes variable.

Other than a few bugs flitting about it's pretty quiet.

The landlord is having a new roof put on the house I live in. Hammer, hammer over my head -all week now. :-(

Has to be done though, don't need a leaky roof in my life. My home is over 200 years old. It's an old mansion. Lovely place.

Yikes.
That'd make me nervous hearing repetitive banging over my head.
But, that's me.
*chuckle*
I love old buildings and get angry when they are allowed to run down to dust.

Rain



I sit here thinking alone in the rain,
thinking of my sorrow, misery, and pain.
I sit here listening to the thunder crashing down,
knowing my life is better when you’re around.

As I sit here watching the storm roll on,
all I think about is you, and how you are gone.
As I look at the dark clouds above,
I sit here and wonder whom you’re thinking of.

It’s like the sky is crying and I am too,
thinking of how I’m missing you.
I miss your hugs and gentle touch,
and the way you tell me you care for me so much.

I miss the way you kiss me and make me feel,
I hope when you come back your feelings are still real.
Now as I look up at the clear sky above,
I’m thinking of you, and I think I’m in love.

Jars of Clay - Flood

Rain rain on my face
Hasn't stopped raining for days
My world is a flood
Slowly I become one with the mud

But if I can't swim after forty days
And my mind is crushed by the crashing waves
Lift me up so high that I cannot fall
Lift me up
Lift me up - When I'm falling
Lift me up - I'm weak and I'm dying
Lift me up - I need you to hold me
Lift me up - Keep me from drowning again

Down pour on my soul
Splashing in the ocean I'm losing control
Dark sky all around
I can't feel my feet touching the ground

But if I can't swim after forty days
And my mind is crushed by the crashing waves
Lift me up so high that I cannot fall
Lift me up
Lift me up - When I'm falling
Lift me up - I'm weak and I'm dying
Lift me up - I need you to hold me
Lift me up - Keep me from drowning again

Calm the storms that drench my eyes
And dry the streams still flowing
Casting down all the waves of sin
And guilt that overthrow me

If I can't swim after forty days
And my mind is crushed by the crashing waves
Lift me up so high that I cannot fall - Lift me up

Famous Quote?

A Moment

Not a day goes by,
Not a second passes
But that I that I think of you.
I close my eyes and I'm drawn back
To a time, a moment suspended
In the eons of time
When you kissed my lips
And touched my soul...
When you loved me.
It was but a fleeting instant
But remains for infinity.
I will always remember.
And when I close my eyes
I will ever return to you.
