~The Dragon Flies' Lair~Thread XIX~
March 24, 2005 | ~bentfeather ~ Poets of The Lair~

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...

You Watch The Moon

You speak of moonlight, while I sweat,
Your evening hasn’t got here yet.
The moon you see, will shine for me,
As I lie down with memory,

My worries, and the day’s heartaches,
And all the pain from my mistakes.
I gather calmness from the dusk,
And breathe the scents of evening’s musk,

The twilight brings the evening’s calm,
And confidence from your song’s balm.
For you have seen this day and night,
And found it not a source for fright.

You faced the challenge, and in time,
Incorporated it in rhyme.
You walked with Day and held it’s hand,
While you stood strong in a foreign land.

The heart of evil that will try,
To harm us must first face your eye,
And you will cause its force to wither,
Before it dares to journey hither.

We thank you then for standing there,
While we sleep soundly without care.
Your loved ones and a grateful nation,
Protected from War’s desolation,

A world away, but held so close,
Each of us missing what we love most.
Take heart that as you watch the moon,
Your task will end, you’ll come home soon.

That Little Voice

That little voice came to me.
This weekend as I was forced to see.
How pitiful some folks can be.
When scarred by green insecurity.

I take a stand against the foe!
And know where I'd like them to go.
Though I will not think of them today
Why waste time on useless prey?

I thank God for friends with power.
Who look unkindly on abusive sour
People who have nothing to do,
But to try and make someone's feelings blue.

Good morning, Uncle Shag.


That Little Voice
is not a whisper
but a roar
with a mighty blister

Good Morning, IA!!

That's a good beginning list!!

Tho' it needn't be a group,
all it takes is one sub-human
to cause trouble.
