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...

I learned this as a kid...

Ain't very long

Over This, Your White Grave



Over this, your white grave
the flowers of life in white--
so many years without you--
how many have passed out of sight?
Over this your white grave
covered for years, there is a stir
in the air, something uplifting
and, like death, beyond comprehension.
Over this your white grave
oh, mother, can such loving cease?
for all his filial adoration
a prayer:
Give her eternal peace--

Karol Wojtyla (Pope John Paul II)
[Krakow, spring 1939]

Morning Sam.


Lovely poem by Pope John Paul. This man is greatly missed by the world. He was a man to respect.

He left this world in a better place than what it was when he arrived on this planet. He suffered greatly the loss of his family at a young age and somehow grew up with grace.


Thanks for poetry, coffee, tunes, and donuts. Most importantly your daily visit to the Lair.

Thanks Sam. PJP was quite a man.

I do not envy the job of the 15 Cardinals who must choose the next Pope. As the old saying goes "how do you follow an act like that" ??

[Soaring Feather]

Good morning, IA.

I agree totally.

Plato said, "At the touch of love everyone
becomes a poet."

Very fitting to post a poem by the Pope this morning. Thanks.

April is Poetry Month

Spring Song
by Robert Louis Stevenson

THE air was full of sun and birds,
The fresh air sparkled clearly.
Remembrance wakened in my heart
And I knew I loved her dearly.

The fallows and the leafless trees
And all my spirit tingled.
My earliest thought of love, and Spring's
First puff of perfume mingled.

In my still heart the thoughts awoke,
Came lone by lone together -
Say, birds and Sun and Spring, is Love
A mere affair of weather?

When freedom does not have a purpose, when it does not wish
to know anything about the rule of law engraved in the
hearts of men and women, when it does not listen to the
voice of conscience, it turns against humanity and society.
--Pope John Paul II
