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 me...

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...

A Winter Bluejay



Crisply the bright snow whispered,
Crunching beneath our feet;
Behind us as we walked along the parkway,
Our shadows danced,
Fantastic shapes in vivid blue.
Across the lake the skaters
Flew to and fro,
With sharp turns weaving
A frail invisible net.
In ecstacy the earth
Drank the silver sunlight;
In ecstacy the skaters
Drank the wine of speed;
In ecstacy we laughed
Drinking the wine of love.
Had not the music of our joy
Sounded its highest note?
But no,
For suddenly, with lifted eyes you said,
"Oh look!"
There, on the black bough of a snow flecked maple,
Fearless and gay as our love,
A bluejay cocked his crest!
Oh who can tell the range of joy
Or set the bounds of beauty?

Tall, Tall Trees
(George Jones/Roger Miller)

If you wanna drive a big limousine
I'll buy the longest one you've ever seen
I'll buy you tall, tall trees and all the waters in the seas
I'm a fool, fool, fool for you

If you wanna own a great mansion
Well I'll give it my utmost attention
I'll buy you tall, tall trees and all the waters in the seas
I'm a fool, fool, fool for you

Well I'm a fool over you
It may take a while but I'll prove it's true
Well if it's lovin' you want then I've got it
If it's money you want the I'll get it
I'll buy you tall, tall trees and all the waters in the seas
I'm a fool, fool, fool for you
If you wanna own a great ocean
I'll travel anywhere you take a notion
I'll buy you tall, tall trees and all the waters in the seas
I'm a fool, fool, fool for you

If you wanna own a great mansion
Well I'll give it my utmost attention
I'll buy you tall, tall trees and all the waters in the seas
I'm a fool, fool, fool for you

Hey I'm a fool over you
It may take a while but I'll prove it's true
Well if it's lovin' you want then I've got it
If it's money you want well I'll get it
I'll buy you tall, tall trees and all the waters in the seas
I'm a fool, fool, fool for you

Yeah I'm a fool, fool, fool for you

Nice pome today!

I have no birds feeding anymore
the shrubs cut down, the squirrels have won
the black capped chicka dee has removed
his lovely chirp from me
The is is price I have paid for
new lattice on the porch was laid
a new roof and gutter work, too,
was the price paid, the reason for no blue parade.

A Tribute to a Butterfly

Madam Butterfly is free

to fly and see all there is to see

while thee well, velvet one

turn thy face to the sun

to feel the soft of moonlight's grace 

remembering those who walk in place

someday will have their wings to fly 

with many songs to sing and rhyme.



These are the days of counting down 

a life well spent... while earth bound

whose soul doth sing a lovely sound

sparkling starlight all around

fare thee well, flight is straight

right up to heaven's golden gate.

~Amazing Grace~Walela~

[Soaring Feather]

In the Valleys

In the valleys of the past.
In the fading of the years,
by the falling of the tears,
in the sunshine of a life,
to the dark and dreary strife,
from a tall and lofty place,
I look upon your face.

From the blowing of the wind,
to the scorching, searing sun,
I look upon your face,
see the agony of pain,
hear the mournful wail,
of a haunted forlorn soul.

Was the screeching of the wheels
tearing at my heels,
a talisman?

Connections

In this place of raging winds
of tossing waters left to spin
a loosing game do we win
when sweeping angels call us in.

Song of the Pancake Man



I'm the pancake man,
And I do, when I can,
Eat pancakes by the score;
I bake them brown,
And swallow them down,
And loudly call for more.

I'll lay my stakes
That a million cakes
I can eat between two naps;
Then call for more,
A million and four,
Or a million and five, perhaps.

It makes me fat,
And more than that,
I'm jolly through and through;
I've been known to laugh
For a year and a half,___
Or why not call it two

Oh, I long for a cake
As big as they make,___
Say, fifty townships wide;
I would handle it quite
At a single bite
And stow it away inside.

John Edward Everett
