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...

I have been searching for any future listings of Lost Horizon if you think I got lost - I did. LOL!

I used two search engines and didn’t find that. I’m going to copy two of the black and whites and see how they enlarge. Thanks!

Oh good, it’s something you can use. I used google.

I have a suspicion that search engines in different parts of the country draw from far different databases. I have felt that for some time now.

Interesting suspicion about regional google differences. Google was what I used and I got resorts. There are Shangri-la resorts all over the world!

The Long Path Home

I hear the wind, like a soft call to my heart
and I understand, only too well I am afraid
for I feel the years upon me so heavy are they laid
and each has taken the price fate decreed be paid

I have kept the wisdom within, hiding it behind a smile
and knowledge once absorb like wine I’ve shared as I can
for to know too much is a curse among those envy fans
and so I am divided in two worlds, for many a long mile

Ancient words and ancient duty, set beneath a Druid’s tree
down through the ages pilot my course by a distant star
and long the road I have come, an eon’s length so far
but then that too was foreseen just the way it must be

Oh the things I’ve seen unfold, across ages bright and bold
and things that left their mark upon my body, mind, and soul
and bit by bit they changed me, from a beginning to almost whole
and I now understand the weight I bear here in stygian cold

Time, you’ve held me in the palm of your ancient hand so long
as I have held you as friend, and foe, and friend again it seems
and man has written so much trying to understand, by the reams
and yet he misses truth for he’ll not see the span and so wrong

To those who know me, think again, for I am more then you see
and I will take the ancient knowledge with me when I go beyond
so much could I explain, much could I show you, but for this bond
set upon me under a spreading oak, beside the sounding sea

Fourth of Freedom

Oh so bright,
the fire-born colors,
arching across the dark sky.

Colorful,
those reminders of deadly shells,
and the patriots who’d fight and die.

They, at least,
thought America was good,
worthy of their final sacrifice.

But, anti-American,
bitterness taught from within,
says such sacrifice should go on ice.

The Me’s,
wanting only their share of all,
afraid of freedom’s cost and care.

Demeaning America,
for they fear responsibility,
and all the duties of the soul kept there.

Demeaning God,
for He too teaches duty and faith,
and final judgment for eternity’s span.

Demeaning the Flag,
and all it means to freemen,
and those wanting to be free from those who ran.

Watch the fireworks,
but remember the fight goes on,
not just across the sea, but with the ‘anti’ next door.

Love America,
build America and pass it on,
its time we all need to give so much more!

Why I Love My Country


I love her magnificent majesty
Her colors: RED, WHITE and BLUE
from her mighty mountain peaks
to her delta lows
and the way her mighty rivers flow
Her frozen land of glaciers
to her deserts barren and cold
I love my mighty country
on whose rocky roads I've run

I love her Pride and Pomp
I love her patience not to tromp
I love her freedom, she lets me be me
with responsibility
and the SISU (guts) to pay the dues
to take care of me at all times,
but should I need a hand,
she is grand and lends a hand up
-not a hand out


She said, I could have an education
that I would have to work for it
no one would hand me my grades
It's a prudent decision she has made...


I love her, because I can run
through the roses at three A.M.
and dream of faraway lands
Be happy in my skin
Oh, yes, I love my homeland
She is Grand.

Thank You, Meg, Happy Fourth of July to you.

Such lovely flowers this rainy morning! Looks like a wet one all day long. Well, this city had their fireworks display Monday night, I watched it from my front porch. It was a fine show.
