~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...

Black holes may regulate galaxy formation

U.S. and German scientists have used a computer model to show
how the behavior of black holes can regulate the growth of
galaxies. Scientists at Carnegie Mellon University and the Max
Planck Institute for Astrophysics found black holes release a
blast of energy that fundamentally governs how their surrounding
galaxies evolve and how they grow themselves. As galaxies formed
in the early universe, they also formed small black holes at
their centers. The black holes merged and grew, sometimes to
masses a billion times larger than the sun, making them
supermassive black holes. When the scientists simulated the
collision of two galaxies in the process of forming, they found
when two supermassives merged, they ignited a phenomenon called a
quasar, which energized the surrounding gas so much it blew
completely out of the galaxy. In this process, they said, smaller
black holes in smaller galaxies quickly blew the galactic gas away,
thereby limiting the number of stars and their own size. In larger
galaxies, however -- such as the Milky Way -- supermassive black
holes not only could grow bigger, but they also could not eject
all the gas. This is why, the scientists said, smaller galaxies
make fewer stars and larger galaxies make more stars.

This is so pretty, thank you from my heart Helga.

It reminds me of my Grandmother and all her doilies and things that she crocheted

I have them now and I use them and her tablecoths. She even crocheted the trim on my sleeping pillow cases. Her fancy work lives on.

I see her hands in my mind at work, always busy, always moving.

She had a jar of assorted pens. She always placed this jar and a writing tablet on the kitchen table when I came visit. She worked with me on letters and writing cursive. For fun, we drew seagulls and doves, but always with the selection of pens. I like to write and share, to this day I like to write, especially on paper. I write to several elderly people who have never used internet. They are all in their nineties and they are still able to write. Some have hand writing that is so personified and some simply scratch ~ I love you.

The gift of a hand written letter is something to cherish and save, especially in these times we live in now, and then.

* I can`t go back to look at Texas Song Writers poem until I send this, but as I wrote the last line, didn`t he say something about `now and then` in his poem today?

So I believe if he did, well something is pouring from Heaven in here as it flows ~

`birdee`

must be where it comes from

white birds


And the white Daisies, they are timeless.

Farewell and Roses



Against the backdrop
Of the pallid sun
And drab gray houses,
He had told her
He no longer loved her.

It was as plain and simple
As that?stark, hard,
Smelling dank and foul.

The pink rose he neglected
To give her on her birthday
Lay crushed and broken
Against the gentle flakes
Of newly fallen snow.

She continued staring out
The large bay window
That separated her
From the cold white
Drifting down like
The flutter of a swan?s wings.

Never before had she fully
Comprehended the futility
Or suddenness of the world.
Not until his final goodbye.

Not until the soft white flakes
Fell upon the sharp thorns
Of the pink rose she had never received.

And though she knew
Somewhere a rainbow
With blue, yellow, red and purple hues
Arched undulating, smelling like
Promises and deep velvet,

Boasting of the beauty of the moment,
She also knew rainbows
Were not meant for such as she

Good morning, Sam.

Whoa, this is more the norm than the happily every after. We don't live in utopia, reality is hard and we need both the happy and the sad to keep from becoming bored with life. Such creatures we humans are-- never satisfied.

Ja, dere Helga just learned about the jolt in Alaska.

Dat's scary, and dere Hagar headed out for the Long Boat. He say to Helga, come on chick boom we gotta get in the boat afore we find ourselves out to sea or up the creek.

Seriously, MM I am thankful you are safe and lost nothing more than words.

Good morning Bentfeather :)

and all Hearts here. :)

I am a nut today! I am also having a real problem connecting and posting, the service has gone off several times and now I am out of time to play here.

I tried to get SamWolf`s goat this morning and even missed his comeback was to your earlier post! hahaha but it would have fit my goat post too, as I had a story.

I will try and visit later, maybe evening.

I hope everyone has a special day,

with surprise endings *


HaPpY ones! :-)
