~The Dragon Flies' Lair~XVII~
January 9, 2005 | bentfeather and Poets of The Lair

Posted on 01/09/2005 4:58:38 AM PST 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 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...

Thank you Ms. Feather.

I'll have a pretty normal week this week, but then it's days AND nights for a month, LOL! But then I get to play!

I am really looking forward to Spring.

Oh my, such a wonderful post.


Thank You for the lovely butterfly poems and the special words to me.


It is a pleasure to have you here.

PS I was reading poetry at another forum today and read a poem titled My Melody. Me thinks Serendipity has let her love shine into the Lair.

BUTTERFLY

A BUTTERFLY WITH WINGS AS PINK
AS ROSES
WENT FLOATING BY
UPON A BREEZE SO DELIGHTED
JUST TO DREAM ALONG IN THE SUN.

Thank you for letting me share.

Love is Everywhere ~ we only need to open our eyes to see it and our hearts to feel it ~

The special poem you saw was delivered by a white Dove this very morning, a very special gift, by a `True Friend` I am blessed to know.

"No gift is too small to give,
nor too simple to receive,
if it`s chosen with thoughtfulness
and given in love."
(unknown)

I`ve been trying to learn this one;

" True Love gives nothing but itself and takes nothing but from itself. Love does not possess, nor would it be possessd."

I believe that is by Kahil Gibran

I know this one is;

" For in all the dew of little things the heart finds its morning and is refreshed "


I forget when this was written, but I have had it for years, maybe the 50`s judging how the priorities are listed from 1 to 10. It is interesting;

ROY ROGERS RIDERS RULES

1. Be neat and clean

2. Be courteous and polite

3. Always obey you parents

4. Protect the weak and help them

5. Be brave but never take chances

6. Study hard and learn all you can

7. Be kind to Animals and take care of them

8. Eat all your food and never waste any

9. Love God and go to Sunday School regularly

10. Always respect our flag and our Country

Many Happy Trails

Roy, Dale and Trigger

If this were written today the numbers would be completely changed around. Remember the 50`s early 60`s, how wholesome life was? "Be neat and clean" echoes in my mind, so does "Be courteous and polite" ~ Thank you Mom. ~

It has been a fun day :)
Thank you Bentfeather
Blessings ~

MEASURED UNDERSTANDING


Quiet distances within what we really see
Future lives for you and me
Wind whistles softly through the trees
Caressing soft gentle breezes of summer

Silkiness of freshly washed hair
Gleaming in the early morning sunshine
Soft gentle eyes of blue
Flashing Radiating sparkles of diamonds

Within your eyes my dreams survive
Existing from moment to moment
From the earliest dawn and the brightest sunshine
Give way unto the lighted darkness of stars
Stretching countless unto infinity

Hand in hand running across grassy fields
Barefooted across sandy shores at sea
My dreams are yet so much of thee
My heart is consumed of your love

Proverbs of old say not all tears are unhappiness
Nor or all scenes borne from evil winds
See inside my hearts destiny
See what your love brings to me

Upon the feathers
Upon the winds
Spread the eagle’s wings to fly
Where two hearts merge within the sky

Soft caresses of silky skin touching upon the twain
Between measured heartbeats of quiet understanding
Slow burn of the madness awakens
Drink long and full to slake thirst

Stars are born and then to die
Hearts soar and learn to fly
Caressing together in the sky
Unity within the bright sunshine

So tell me of your world and become part of mine
I sojourned in a far off land
Where only your love exists in the soft breezes
And the brightness of your smile lives on forever
Upon the wings of tomorrows skies

The Artist.....It is God who made all things for us to see if we but take the time. He painted the grass green; to see, to feel, to smell, to lay upon. The earth he painted brown; the ocean blue.He crafted all living things in different hues and to each something special to do. He gave the seasons and the wind that touches are face. The sky in all its many moods and changing color. The sun to warm us and the moon to light the night. He is pleased when we admire what He made. He is happy when we remember to thank Him.

Spilt Milk



WE that have done and thought,
That have thought and done,
Must ramble, and thin out
Like milk spilt on a stone.

Hi David!!

So very nice to awaken and learn Straightheart has been here.

There are so many beautiful little poems.

Upon the feathers
Upon the winds
Spread the eagle’s wings to fly
Where two hearts merge within the sky

I love this one of course!!
and Stars are born and then to die Hearts soar and learn to fly Caressing together in the sky Unity within the bright sunshine

Lovely, and thank you Dave. How are you feeling these days? I pray all is well for you.

LunaRed,

It is your writings that `humble me.` You write with a heart True and Good. I see it and feel it inside my whole heart. You are everything beautiful and I see God`s smile `through you.`

Thank You and God for allowing me to `see`

Keep writng no matter what.

Your gift shines ~ pure and simple, and everybody can see.

I think you are a *Star*
I see the Artist at work through You.

Blessings ~
my melody
