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...

[Soaring Feather]

Good night everyone.

[Seadog Bytes]

OH! That’s VERY nice!

The window
Phase three of pain
Timing is everything with the window
Take the pills too late, and you wait for sleep
Take them too early and the window
Opens

Insomnia
writhing in the covers like a less than able seaman trapped in an acre of mainsail
a cauldron of stomach churning, turning, kneeding
Wide open eyes examining the ceiling

The AM hours find me here
Typing, thinking, browsing, waiting
waiting for the heavy eyelids, heavier feet
and a chance to close
the window

[Seadog Bytes]

Thanks! ...Too FUNNY!

[Seadog Bytes]

Uh... Are you gonna eat the rest of that watermelon...???

...grin

[Seadog Bytes]

Hmmm... Do ya s'pose they're easier to slice this way?

[Seadog Bytes]

I can’t claim credit for the concept, only the graphic.     :)

Good morning everyone.

As One Who Having Wandered All Night Long
by Robert Louis Stevenson


AS one who having wandered all night long
In a perplexed forest, comes at length
In the first hours, about the matin song,
And when the sun uprises in his strength,
To the fringed margin of the wood, and sees,
Gazing afar before him, many a mile
Of falling country, many fields and trees,
And cities and bright streams and far-off Ocean's smile:


I, O Melampus, halting, stand at gaze:
I, liberated, look abroad on life,
Love, and distress, and dusty travelling ways,
The steersman's helm, the surgeon's helpful knife,
On the lone ploughman's earth-upturning share,
The revelry of cities and the sound
Of seas, and mountain-tops aloof in air,
And of the circling earth the unsupported round:


I, looking, wonder: I, intent, adore;
And, O Melampus, reaching forth my hands
In adoration, cry aloud and soar
In spirit, high above the supine lands
And the low caves of mortal things, and flee
To the last fields of the universe untrod,
Where is no man, nor any earth, nor sea,
And the contented soul is all alone with God.

Good morning, Chef Tude, great menu today, thank you.

Lots of choices for everyone’s taste. Hope you have a grand day.

[Soaring Feather]

Hmmm... Do ya s'pose they're easier to slice this way?

I bet they would be!

[Soaring Feather]

Hello, StarfireIV!

I think you have found your way to deal with this pain, writing can be very help full.

I hope you will find some relief soon.

Tea For Two by Jean Monti

Good Saturday Morning
Thank you for the great breakfast and lovely poem..I'll be dining inside
today..We had a big rainstorm last night with more predicted. I finished
my yard work just in time!

[MEG33]

I’ll cut another slice for you..That one is all mine.

[Soaring Feather]

Such a sweet picture, I love it.

Sorry you have to dine inside today but your surroundings are lovely.

We did not have rain in the night, it is a gorgeous day today, moderate temps with very low humidity, just perfect.
