The Dragonflies Lair~Thread XXIX
The Muse and Poets of the Lair | July 12, 2006 | bentfeather

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...

Psalm 121

I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help.
My help cometh from the LORD, which made heaven and earth.
He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber.
Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.
The LORD is thy keeper: the LORD is thy shade upon thy right hand.
The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night.
The LORD shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul.
The LORD shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore.

King James Version

How Can One Ask For A Feeling?


I prayed a prayer on night
found you there,
in the afar
away from the din and clatter


I did not know you much I needed you.
You are deeply precious to me
this is no game
I treasure you, as I do the white snow falling
on a January Eve.


You are my snow song
silently falling from the heavens
lightly caressing as you fall past my window
flirting with me as you brush my hair
lightly touching my brow


I adore you, today, tomorrow, forever,
we were meant to be, forever friend.

I See It

Gossamer as lace
delicate as watered silk
and only found in your eyes
the light of true love
perfect and passionate
speaking
oh so clear

Beautiful! I like it, a lot! There is such a feeling of gentleness and longing, a calling heart.
