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...

It’s is a love poem -the true form of love, without the make up. It’s just so human, so readily recognized by all who have ever loved another.

[Soaring Feather]

The castle dragons in their flight
ruled the realm both day and night
by legions they occupied the air
guarding everyone inside her walls
from ground assaults and ugly toads.


Their graceful flight in open air
nary a scale touching ground
the castle dragons in control
kept the wizards in a daze
as in and out of foggy mist
they sailed on through in lofty pose
as twilight entered unopposed.


The guard remained until one
obtained a writ to break the dawn.
The sound was loud from a thunder cloud
as the castle woke to see
the castle dragons one by one
alit into their cave.


There they slept while the castle kept
the business of the day.
Dusk awoke the owl
to the dragons he spoke
and ordered them to fly away.


Day by day, left by right
the winged dragons took their flight
lifting, flowing, soaring in the wild
evil’s door to not open its poison within.
Castle guards they be then and now in
a invisible realm seen to those who look
for dragons in the clouds.

Ultima Thule
Dedication to G. W. G.
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

With favoring winds, o'er sunlit seas,
We sailed for the Hesperides,
The land where golden apples grow;
But that, ah! that was long ago.
How far, since then, the ocean streams
Have swept us from that land of dreams,
That land of fiction and of truth,
The lost Atlantis of our youth!
Whither, ah, whither? Are not these
The tempest-haunted Orcades,
Where sea-gulls scream, and breakers roar,
And wreck and sea-weed line the shore?

Ultima Thule! Utmost Isle!
Here in thy harbors for a while
We lower our sails; a while we rest
From the unending, endless quest.

Meg, I love Cowper’s paintings. Another winner.

He is into mythical females, and folklore. Makes it fine for me. I never hit the ground. ;)
