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...

LOL

It ain't dragonflies. :0)


I give them a charge once in a while. LOL

[Soaring Feather]

I'm so embarrassed.

[fatima]

Well ,
Put you to my Parrot
She wants a carrot
Take you nap,
we won't yap
I will take my Parrot:)

[pelikan]

LOL! I'm sure the dragonflies will let you off the hook, as long as they're not on it.

Think I'd better sign off now. Electricity was off earlier and satellite still isn't back. We had tornado warnings a little while ago and then a major storm with more predicted for tonight. So, am going to turn everything off and head to bed. Good night Ms Feather, hope you can sleep in tomorrow.

[Soaring Feather]

Good night Peli, prayers up for your safety.

That poor hamster. ;)

[Soaring Feather]

Good morning everyone.

[Knitting A Conundrum]

Good morning. A fast one; I have to get ready for work.

Meditation on Isaiah 11:10

On that day
the Root of Jesse
shall stand as a sign, a banner, a signal
to the nations,
and the Gentiles shall seek him, inquiring,
for his place of rest shall be glorious.

What sign did he give us?
A babe so poor
that he sleeps in a stable,
laid to rest in a feeding trough
for lack of a bed,
A babe so special
that the heavens could not contain their joy,
for Love had wrought what only Love can do,
Giving all in the name of Love,
no matter what the cost.

What sign did he give us?
A beacon on a hill,
Arms outstretched
in bloody sacrifice,
he the lintel,
he the blood offered
He the lamb consumed
in this new Passover,
for Love had wrought what only Love can do,
Giving all in the name of Love,
no matter what the cost.

What sign did he give us?
An empty tomb
A discarded shroud,
A promise fulfilled,
Hope in the darkness,
Joy in his touch,
Peace,
for Love had wrought what only Love can do,
Giving all in the name of Love,
no matter what the cost.

O Jesus!
Where you are is the glory of God,
Be with me
O Love incarnate,
O Light,
O Peace,
O Hope,
This day, and always.

Amen

[Soaring Feather]

Thank You dear, have a wonderful day.

I'm sure you have been awaiting the following with bated breath:
On Wednesday of this week, at two minutes and three seconds after 1:00 in the morning, the time and date will be 01:02:03 04/05/06.

That won't ever happen again. You may now return to your life.

First Robin
by Emily Dickinson


I dreaded that first robin so,
But he is mastered now,
And I'm accustomed to him grown,--
He hurts a little, though.

I thought if I could only live
Till that first shout got by,
Not all pianos in the woods
Had power to mangle me.

I dared not meet the daffodils,
For fear their yellow gown
Would pierce me with a fashion
So foreign to my own.

I wished the grass would hurry,
So when 't was time to see,
He'd be too tall, the tallest one
Could stretch to look at me.

I could not bear the bees should come,
I wished they'd stay away
In those dim countries where they go:
What word had they for me?

They're here, though; not a creature failed,
No blossom stayed away
In gentle deference to me,
The Queen of Calvary.

Each one salutes me as he goes,
And I my childish plumes
Lift, in bereaved acknowledgment
Of their unthinking drums.

[Lady Jag]

Official Good morning to you!

[Soaring Feather]

How thoughtful of you!

[GeekDejure]

How are you doing these days?? Getting any warmer in your neck of the woods??

=======

I'm doing everything just a little below the daily speed limit !!!

My neck always gets warmer when a gorgeous woman wraps her
loving arms around it... whether I'm in the woods or not !!! ;-))

[Lady Jag]

A morning gift
