My Dragonfly 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...

You’re just JEALOUS that Ma like me better!

[NY Attitude]

Sweet dreams.

Well here we are on our walk through Bangkok. Let's see, where next?

1.)Let's walk down this street.


2.)Ahhhh! What's that springing up? It's a Chinese dragon!


3.)Ah, so! Here is the dragon's abode. A brand new Chinese style Buddhist temple on the grounds of the other temple which I've long been posting pictures of.


4.)Here's a clearer picture of that dragon that scared us so, as well as two stupas from the older temple on these grounds.


5.)Brand spanking new. They just finished this over the last few months that I was out of Thailand, though they've been chipping away on this project for a couple years now. At the base of the photo is a golden lotus blossom for Soaring, who's partial to lotuses.


6.)Being a Chinese style temple, they will have to burn fake paper money on special occasions. This in an exceptionally fancy paper money oven, with a cute little Chinese pot on top. Here in Taiwan, most people use rusty metal buckets by the roadside to burn the money for their ancestors (and whatever other special "force" is under consideration at the time).


7.)Another shot of the lovely new temple.


8.)Now let's leave the dragon to its guard duties.


9.)And walk down another rainy street.


10.)Hmm, now this looks promising. Till next time!

Just imagine, a bed made of money.

[Kathy in Alaska]

I’m trying, I’m trying...LOL!

[Soaring Feather]

Good morning, America, where all your dreams can come true!

[Soaring Feather]

starbase, these pictures are great. The colors are super beautiful, thanks for the Golden Lotus, lovely.

WOW the dragon pictures are going on your page.

Just wonderful of you to share your journey with us.

[tomkow6]

Good morning,

Ms Feather!

I think a bed made from "bread"
would induce sweet dreams
if the rustle of the sheets
did not disturb one's dream

Would someone come at night to
burst my bubble of wealth
or would I need a platoon of guards
to keep the thieves out!

So rich a bed of dreams
almost beyond the blue
shoot for the stars would
be the call and could very well come true.

A Princess was once
bothered by a pea
I wonder what these bucks would do
to enhance her reverie?

Or would dreaming of spending money
undo all the books of dreams
to send her spinning out of control
from living life to rolling in dough
just for metaphor's sake
to morph from from happy camper
to living in a cell, oh well Paris Hilton
knows the story well.

Hey Tom, nice curls!

Poetry is the silence and speech between a wet struggling
root of a flower and a sunlit blossom of that flower.

[Lady Jag]

Beautiful photos. Is it very humid there?

[NY Attitude]

Excellent! Just imagine a bed made of $4,120,100,000.00 and that isn’t even counting the foreign money.

[NY Attitude]

Very nice pictures. Somethings haven’t changed they still have a lot of rain.

[Soaring Feather]

I can dream of hoards of a stash
alas, I cannot imagine a thought
so rash of ever having that much cash!

My mother told me about being careful where I made my bed! ;)
