~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...

The Firefly



The firefly's flame
Is something for which science has no name
I can think of nothing eerier
Than flying around with an unidentified glow on a
person's posteerier.

Ogden Nash

Good morning, Lair! Happy Monday to everyone!

Love's Philosophy
Percy Bysshe Shelley

The fountains mingle with the river,
And the rivers with the ocean;
The winds of heaven mix forever
With a sweet emotion;
Nothing in the world is single;
All things by a law divine
In another's being mingle--
Why not I with thine?

See, the mountains kiss high heaven,
And the waves clasp one another;
No sister flower could be forgiven
If it disdained its brother;
And the sunlight clasps the earth,
And the moonbeams kiss the sea;--
What are all these kissings worth,
If thou kiss not me?

“Catching Lightning”

Luciferase, instead of fusion, lights the stars beneath the trees.
We always called them Lightning Bugs, playmates the size of bees.
A game called Mother May I, you move and then you stop,
Wait for the next green signal, just like a traffic cop.

When you get close enough that you can see it in the dark,
Just sweep your hand to catch it with a gentle little arc.
It will alight upon your skin and puzzled, move around,
As if to wonder how the heck it just got on the ground.

They are a gentle creature. Their feet don’t even hurt.
As larger beetles sometimes do, as if their boots were spurred.
They walk around and taste you some, but quickly they get bored,
And soon they jump up in the air, and once again they‘ve soared.

Off to join the traffic. It’s rush hour there, you know.
This is a serious business, they’re not just putting on a show.
They have to find their mate out there, with just a tiny light.
Although they are just tiny bugs, they seem to me quite bright.

Tinkerbell was small, flew and glowed. Maybe she was a firefly?

I was just thinking abut the games we played as children.
Mother may I, red rover, red light.

We played them all pretty much the same way.

My youngest brother and I used to catch them just like in the graphic Sam posted. I don't recall letting them walk on me, but perhaps I did. :-)

Happy thoughts you conjure up.

Hear me speak what’s on my mind
Let me give this testimony
Reaffirm that you will find
That you are my one and only.

No exception to this rule
I’m simple but I’m no fool
I’ve got a witness happy to say
Every hour, every day.

Every heartbeat bears your name
Loud and clear they stake my claim
My red blood runs true blue
And every heartbeat belongs to you.

Classic case of boy meets girl
Moving in the same direction
You’re not asking for the world
I’m not asking for perfection.

Just a love that’s well designed
For passing the test of time
I’m here to tell you
I’m here to stay
Every hour, every day.

Every heartbeat bears your name
Loud and clear they stake my claim
Ask anyone and they’ll tell you it’s true
Every heartbeat belongs to you.

Every heartbeat bears your name
Loud and clear they stake my claim, yeah
My red blood runs true blue
And every heartbeat belongs to you.

Oh, oh, oh, oh.
Yeah sure maybe I’m on the edge
But I love you baby and like I said
I’m here to tell you
I’m here to stay
Every hour, every day.

Every heartbeat bears your name
Loud and clear they stake my claim
Ask anyone and they’ll tell you it’s true
Every heartbeat belongs to you.

Every heartbeat bears your name (every)
Loud and clear they stake my claim, yeah
My red blood runs true blue
And every heartbeat belongs to you.

Every heartbeat bears your name (every)
Loud and clear they stake my claim, yeah
(every heartbeat)
And every heartbeat belongs to you.

Every heartbeat bears your name
Loud and clear they stake my claim
Ask anyone and they’ll tell you it’s true
Every heartbeat belongs to you.

Song: Love Is The Seventh Wave

In the empire of the senses
You're the queen of all you survey
All the cities all the nations
Everything that falls your way
There is a deeper wave than this
That you don't understand
There is a deeper wave than this
Tugging at your hand

Every ripple on the ocean
Every leaf on every tree
Every sand dune in the desert
Every power we never see
There is a deeper wave than this
Swelling in the world
There is a deeper wave than this
Listen to me girl

Feel it rising in the cities
Feel it sweeping over land
Over borders, over frontiers
Nothing will its power withstand
There is no deeper wave than this
Rising in the world
There is no deeper wave than this
Listen to me girl

All the bloodshed, all the anger
All the weapons, all the greed
All the armies, all the missiles
All the symbols of our fear
There is a deeper wave than this
Rising in the world
There is a deeper wave than this
Listen to me girl

At the still point of destruction
At the centre of the fury
All the angels, all the devils
All around us can't you see
There is a deeper wave than this
Rising in the land
There is a deeper wave than this
Nothing will withstand

I say love is the seventh wave
