~The Dragon Flies' Lair~Poetry Thread XXV~
The Seven Muses | March 8, 2006 | 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...

Good afternoon Ms. Feather.

"Roads" is so lovely and heart-felt, thank you for sharing. I enjoyed reading, and will save so I can read again.

Family birthdays at my house this evening, so I am cooking away today!

Have a beautiful Sunday, Ms. Feather!

Hello, ms marlowe!

Happy times with family
birthdays celebrating
stepping stones to maturity

Good food cooking

Have a grand time dear
and laugh, let those smilies
from others cast a memory in gold for you.

"The Waiting

Endless ticking of the clock
facial lines deeper in the mirror
Endless ticking of the clock
time racing to the end
wearing gossamer robes
to bind and fold me in
a starlight trip without end
where I'll join him

bf"

The ticking of the clock but marks the moment,
and lines are but the history one passes through.
Time is but the flow of life, celebrate what is sent,
so wear your robes and enjoy the trip as you go.
Gossemer or flannel, let the moment decide,
if he's worthy, it matters not what you wore!

Time marches in on heavy feet,
the hands of time clap out a beat.
Father Time bows out to the baby,
who tiptoes in and says, now maybe,
the ticking of the clock is mankind
asking, the age old question,
"Is there life after death?"
and to that . . . my answer without hesitation,is,
believe on the lord Jesus Christ
and thou shalt have eternal life.
Because, He died, for your justifiction.

Healed and Whole

One day I dug a little hole
And put my hurt inside
I thought that I could just forget
I'd put it there to hide.

But that little hurt began to grow
I covered it every day
I couldn't leave it and go on
It seemed the price I had to pay.

My joy was gone, my heart was sad
Pain was all I knew.
My wounded soul enveloped me
Loving seemed too hard to do.

One day, while standing by my hole
I cried to God above
And said, "If You are really there-
They say, You're a God of Love!"

And just like that-He was right there
And just put His arms around me
He wiped my tears, His hurting child
There was no safer place to be.

I told Him all about my hurt
I opened up my heart
He listened to each and every word
To every sordid part.

I dug down deep and got my hurt
I brushed the dirt away
And placed it in the Master's hand
And healing came that day.

He took the blackness of my soul
And set my spirit FREE!
Something beautiful began to grow
Where the hurt used to be.

And when I look at what has grown
Out of my tears and pain
I remember every day to give my hurts to Him
And never bury them again.


I do not know the author of this piece . . . but, it touched and healed my heart . . . God be with you all!

Good night Miss Feather and Fellow Lairites . . . see you tomorrow.

The Loon

I have seen the Loon
it was at Georgian Bay
with my friend Shirley
we went to visit there one day.

She was born there on the rez
you see
she wanted me to see
the Loon in Georgian Bay

Many roads we traveled, Shirley and me
she was my blood sister
a lovely lass indeed
She went on before me
the hawk, her totem took her away
beyond the Georgian Bay
I miss her every day.

We lived in a place for a few years where loons would wake us with the sunrise. They have a funny call and a flock of them doing it was even funnier, so we couldn't get mad at them.

The first apartment with the beagle was an entirely different story.
