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...

Two gems you left
for the poets of the Lair
both excellent
in content
mysterious and rare
calling forth
echoes of the past
and present
haunting and vexing
words that last.

Yikes, that is early.
Well, the old adage
Early to bed
Early to rise,
makes a man (woman)
healthy, wealthy and wise. ;)
And well rested.

Mellow is the quiet that I get
in the morning, before they rise,
in the morning, before they rise,
that's the time, that's the time,
I love the best.
Peaceful is the color of the time
in the morning, before they rise,
in the morning, before they rise,
that's the time, that's the time,
I love the best.
Calm is the feeling that I get
in the morning, before they rise,
in the morning, before they rise,
that's the time, that's the time,
I love the best.
(apologies to Donovan)

I do believe that watching dawn appear
is the best time of the day.
There is a peaceful calm in the time
and the wonder of it all sweeps
over the mind
Of just how small we all are
in the grand scheme of things.

not lead. Don't walk in front of me; I may not
follow. Just walk beside me and be my friend."

Pooka Promises
Aye ye fear da pooka, boy, n wise his you, I say,

So pours me a foamn eaded cold, cold beer,
n lets me tell ya o a Pookas most terrible day.
Twer ol King Brian Boru, him as was High King of Erin,
wid a bit o magic n tree airs of a Pookas tail.
E bridled hit in da glen, n rodem to a standstill wit out fail
n tricked im out hov tree wishes boy, dere n den!
First hit werent ta pester Christians, or deir lands,
second, hit were ta leave hall Irishmen hat peace.
sept dose drunk, hor wit heart of evil without cease
n third, dose it could have as fierce has hit wanted wid out bans.
Ol Brians gone n da spell be weaker now,
so da Pooka, his still raisn ell has e pleases.
So careful be, hor hits yer soul e might freezes,
beware da night hif da Pookas up fer a row!

Them pookas will take you on wild rides if you don't watch out....
Dark the horse that flies over the silent hills,
his gallop beating through the night
like the sound of fear.
Dancing in the wheat, stallion he,
with no respect for hard work and hungry mouth,
Fences concern him not, as he crashes through
leaving more work behind.
Beware, you who walk the road at night,
for in his mad joy, he will come like the wind
and knock you into the ditch, for the sheer doing of it.
Don't forget to leave him his bit when harvest comes,
Or you will feel his ire even more.
