The Dragon Flies' Lair~Thread~XXXIV~March 10, 2007

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...

It is a warm sunny day here in Glendale, AZ. Not hot (but that is relative to what) and the humidity is tolerable. Hopefully the rain will wash away any remnants of snow and that the sun will shine soon.

If the Owl Calls Again
 
  at dusk
from the island in the river,
and it's not too cold,

I'll wait for the moon
to rise,
then take wing and glide
to meet him.

We will not speak,
but hooded against the frost
soar above
the alder flats, searching
with tawny eyes.

And then we'll sit
in the shadowy spruce
and pick the bones
of careless mice,

while the long moon drifts
toward Asia
and the river mutters
in its icy bed.

And when the morning climbs
the limbs
we'll part without a sound,

fulfilled, floating
homeward as
the cold world awakens.

John Haines

Oh I do agree with you making frames is most fun.

Lazy day for me, daughter stopped in for coffee. I baked a Banana Date, Nut bread to serve with the coffee. Oh it was good, I sent some home for her and hubby.

Horizon of Life


Across this horizon of life
the length from emptiness to love

found and
confirms every thought you carried
whispered the wind...

I hope your cake turns out well. I love baking breads they are easy and so good.

Poetry, songs of my heart
sometimes of hurt
sometimes of joy
all leaving a mark that I have been here.

I am your best friend,
Now, always, and especially
When you are eating.

With all of the different things happening on the internet, sometimes it seems like one is entering the "Twilight Zone".
