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...

Yes, I do see that. Sure hope your prayers are answered soon.

I looked out in my back yard the other day, Snow Drops are making their way through the old oak leaves, we have no snow on the ground.

Do Sam and Snippy really have a store? . . . I sure do miss them posting here.

[Soaring Feather]

Yes, they sure do. It is beautiful as you can see. I miss them as well, they are so busy.

[HopeandGlory]

My snowdrops are coming up also . . . but no blooms yet.

Good morning everyone.

The Silence

The silence of the forest
evokes a calming of the soul
Standing neath a giant
I feel very small
There are things mightier than me
as nature constantly reminds me...
that I am, but a grain of sand
in the entire scheme.

It's good to know I'm not in charge
a terrible onus it be
my job is small you see
and it's enough for me.

I gather words from the sky
and lay them in a row
I hope people understand
I have no where else to go.
But to morph into the background
to write a poesy or two
then put it some shape or form
to lay it down for you.

Mountain Stream

Cold, cold water flowing fast, spilling over ancient rounded stones,
along the twisted bed of a river engraved before man walked this land.
Coming from high mountain ice high above the trees, over earth’s bones,
dropping cataracts of leaping spray fall to the seas below to waiting sand.

Evergreen monarchs march down the stony hills into aspens standing prime,
as wind whispers amid the giants singing of ages beyond this moment and the next.
The icy flow of the melted blood of mother earth runs on down the slope of time,
leaping, flowing where it may with easy grace that can not be held or vexed.

Flowing in halls of overhanging oaks, to meander through the silent elms below,
feeding the land as it flows, nurturing love, under a sun’s warming touch at last.
The river widens into the sea, amid delta islands of settled silt, weeds, and time’s flow,
to meet, merging waters of this surging pool of life, and ocean flows take it into the past.

Howdy, nice poem!



How you doing?? Is it snowing out your way?? No snow on the ground here, although we are due for a change with snow in the forecast.

[Soaring Feather]

Sorry, I think I forgot to ping you this morning.

[Soaring Feather]

Haiku competition I'd find that fun too....




Well, we have had them here in the Lair. Start one, I'll try although I am not good at it.

[Knitting A Conundrum]

I am thinking you are right!

[Soaring Feather]

So sorry. It was not intentional. ;(
