~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...

Yes.....My Melody I am silly tonight. My dear young person, I cleaned my walls today so I don't want to bounce off mine. Chili peppers fly me to the moon. I do speak Spanish. LOL Hugs LunaRed

In His Presence.....I stood before Jesus, with something to say, something important that happened that day. I was lost in his presence with nothing to say. So I smiled back at Jesus as He blessed y day. I still cant remember what it could have been; but all I desire is to see Him again.

The Hummingbird



The sunlight speaks. And it's voice is a bird:

It glitters half-guessed half seen half-heard

Above the flower bed. Over the lawn ...

A flashing dip and it is gone.

And all it lends to the eye is this --

A sunbeam giving the air a kiss.

FARM STORIES.....My daddy loved his Limburger cheese, the odor of which could never please. Early Sundays he left for the farm, with his cheese and his pipe, free from harm. UNTIL one day we received a call, Daddy said he did not feel good at all. It seems two rattlers had died in the tank, He said something really stank. So the doctor went racing to my dad's aid and spent all day were my daddy laid. With the cheese and the pipe and the rattle snake venom, he was so sick his head was spinning. To the best I remember he gave up the cheese, just kept his pipes, with that he was pleased.

Oh funny, Luna Red!


Ugh dead snakes in the tank. Those things happened when folks had open wells.

THAT LITTLE FIST



That little fist that grasped the air
At quickened noise & closing doors,
With fingers fanned that counted five,
Then closed - an open hand no more.

That little fist curled like a plum
And thrust beneath her powdered chest
She slept a quiet little while
In gentle, peaceful rest.

That little fist at busied work
Picked the tiny lily graced.
Then breathed the unseen fragrant cloud
And thrust them to a mothers' face.

That little fist with pencil clutched
And twisted mouth to write the score.
This family one, this family loved
Today, forevermore.

That little fist held toward the sky,
To pick her up amid the calm
Has opened like a fragile flower
Upon his mighty palm.

That little fist held in his hand
Pulled to his face and kissed
An open canvas held behind
That tiny, little fist.

I am only being playful this sunny Saturday morning, the child at play.

Tell me is the moon really green, is it grey red or white, or is it blue, purple, yellow too. Is it brown, yes heavenly pink, let`s meet there at noon.

LunaRed, I read what you said.
I had a bad connection last night and couldn`t respond. You were playful and silly too? I heard your laughing in your writing.

It is good to feel silly! Silly is good. I love being silly, I think we should!

hahahahahahaha!

Feel it? :-)

*Silly and singing on Saturday morning*

(Hugs)

Good Morning Everybody :-)

How sweet the sound ~

Bentfeather and Samwolf singing first thing every morning


I am taking a walk reading each song this morning, enjoying my coffee. The sky is blue, the little birds are busy in their feeder by my window eating seeds. They have their order. These are like tiny sparrows and chickadees. There is one bird with a much longer beak eating the suet. Huge black Ravens occupy the sky where I live, but they don`t bother the little birds here. I enjoy watching the ravens the most. They have their order too. They are the only bird that I ever have seen that seems to enjoy `play` for so many hours on end!

Each day they will group into pairs, sometimes as many as ten to twelve pairs, and they ride the air currents for hours. To see this, it is as if they are each connected to strings like a marionette.

If this were not play, how could they fly in one place for hours? They dance together.

There is so much written about Raven throughout history and the ages ~ they mean different things to people. I think they enjoy their life given, and where I live, they bother no one, they are free to `Be`.

Hummingbirds are so fun to watch. I think everybody loves the Hummingbird. *sweetness*

a little poem by an anonymous poet well over a hundred years ago wrote;

`Sing on, sweet bird! like thee,
When `midst the cold, the free,
If sorrow should be mine,
I`ll sigh not o`er the hours
Gone ~ wither`d like the flowers ~
My song shall be like thine.`



I am *Happy* today

I love your rose centered Heart today Bentfeather, it is so beautiful.

H a P p Y ! :-)
