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...

Our shoes have walked this way before
in and out the cyber door
friendships forged in solid gold
to have, to hold for centuries told
As foot prints left in old bogs
dry to leave a deep impression
so a friend's poetry binds
the years of loyal support
offered with a poetic twist
affections with deep respect
one poet to another
Welcome back my friend of old
who comes on cat paws in the night
to leave treasures of the word
then silently slip back into the
blackness of night
leaving visages of night time visits
bentfeather
So glad you're back on line.

Three today, she saw
The trees flare briefly like
The candles on a cake,
As the sun went down the sky,
A momentary flash,
Yet there was time to wish

Your communication skills are very mature when compared to the average 3 year old.
Hi miss Feather
To: bentfeather; Old Sarge; WayzataJOHNN; laurenmarlowe; snippy_about_it; All
Dante's Prayer Loreena McKennitt When the dark wood fell before me And all the paths were overgrown When the priests of pride say there is no other way I tilled the sorrows of stone
I did not believe because I could not see Though you came to me in the night When the dawn seemed forever lost You showed me your love in the light of the stars
Cast your eyes on the ocean Cast your soul to the sea When the dark night seems endless Please remember me Then the mountain rose before me By the deep well of desire From the fountain of forgiveness Beyond the ice and the fire
Cast your eyes on the ocean Cast your soul to the sea When the dark night seems endless Please remember me
Though we share this humble path, alone How fragile is the heart Oh give these clay feet wings to fly To touch the face of the stars
Breathe life into this feeble heart Lift this mortal veil of fear Take these crumbled hopes, etched with tears We'll rise above these earthly cares
Cast your eyes on the ocean Cast your soul to the sea When the dark night seems endless Please remember me... |

Oh how much do I love this song?
Oh how much does it touch me?
It touches my soul with ribbons
of grace and moves my soul to sob
and weep, yet, my heart smiles
at the wondrous beauty of the melody.
Thank You, so much for the gorgeous presentation.
To: Professional Engineer
Thank You, PE. Bitty Girl is gonna out talk me.

My favorite line is...
"I did not believe because I could not see"
How limiting it would be, to only believe in the things we can see.
I'm so glad you enjoy it as much as I do.
