~The Dragon Flies' Lair~Thread~XXII
August 28, 2005 | bentfeather/The Poets of the Lair

Posted on 08/28/2005 2:26:23 AM PDT 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...

Hi, "Ray!" I feel so warm and happy now. Thanks!

BTW, it is one dazzling morning in southern California/coastal Los Angeles! It was so bright I thought I had way overslept. Just before 7:00 a.m. I first viewed sunrise. The sun was absolutely golden on the eastern horizon and the sky a bright clear blue. I've never seen sky that blue so early in the morning.

All we've had for months are gray, gloomy mornings. Well, I'm going to skip down to the cafeteria for my pancakes. See ya!

Good morning!!

Gorgeous day here!!

A slight nip in the fall air. Gotta go into the back yard and start to clear away the dead stuff from summer.

Gracious are the blessings
you are so sweet
said with a smile ...
let us bow down awhile
before the God of glory

a new verse to begin
every thought a prayer
no matter when ...
no matter where ...
every thought a prayer


all we do on-going
is beyond our knowing
God alone may turn
everything to good ...
for those who love Him ...


Joseph knew the truth
what men meant for evil
God meant for good.
so he loved his brothers ...
and he did show it ...

An excellent image
to apprehend ...
may we pass it
... to others
with honor, respect,... homage

Many creatures seem to love apples...

Reminds me of a song Rosalie Sorrels sang:

If you love me,
If you love, love, love me,
Plant a rose for me
If you think you're gonna love me
For a long, long time
Plant an apple tree.

So, whether you comes
And whether you goes
I'll have an apple
And I'll have a rose
So easy to eat,
Nice to my nose
And every little bite will be
A sweet reminder of the time you loved me
And planted a rose for me ...
And a apple tree.

No Pancakes in the bin tonight
lovely sunsets eyes delight
lately haiku rules as
inspiration's tools
country roads, and stray dogs
old barns and leafy ponds
a hello and howdy from Old Sarge
makes a heart proud --
We Have The Dragonflies' Lair.
