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...

Have you ever seen anything in your life more wonderful
than the way the sun, every evening, relaxed and easy, floats toward the horizon
and into the clouds or the hills, or the rumpled sea, and is gone-- and how it slides again
out of the blackness, every morning, on the other side of the world, like a red flower
streaming upward on its heavenly oils, say, on a morning in early summer, at its perfect imperial distance-- and have you ever felt for anything such wild love-- do you think there is anywhere, in any language, a word billowing enough for the pleasure
that fills you, as the sun reaches out, as it warms you
as you stand there, empty-handed-- or have you too turned from this world--
or have you too gone crazy for power, for things?

Friends of The Dragonflies' Lair. We have had a good run lasting many years as a Poetry Thread. The time has come to let the Dragonfly fly freely, and to close the doors of The Dragonflies'Lair. Thanks to each and every poet who has contributed to this thread. Dear friends shall be missed. If you wish you may FReepmail me. I will be around somewhere. Best wishes to all who have supported The Lair over the years. Your friendship is a valued treasure. Sincerely, Soaring Feather 09.08.07

Why do you want to close the Lair and toss good friends out?
Whydo they shut Me out of Heaven? |

Whydo they shut Me out of Heaven? Did I singtoo loud? ButI can say a little "Minor" Timid as a Bird!
Wouldn't the Angels try me Justoncemore Justseeif I troubled them But don'tshut the door!
Oh, if Iwere the Gentleman In the "White Robe" And theywere the little Handthat knocked CouldIforbid?

I'm sure it seems to all that I have tossed you out, believe me that is not the case.
I've felt the need for sometime now, to fly without ties. I know this may sound hollow and hard to understand, but my vessel is empty, I cannot give what I don't have.
I'm buying time to move on, by that I mean there is a book I want to do. I have to have all I have to work on this project. Selfish, yes, poets are, artists are, but by no means do I wish to end friendships.
Please remember you are my treasure -all who come to post here. SF

Wishing You A Blessed Lord's Day
Grand Tetons
The heavens declare the glory of God and the firmament sheweth His handywork.
Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge...
Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the ends of the world.
Psalms 19:1-4

Dear Meg, thank you for your support. The change is me not anyone here-I value all of you.
I need some time to reflect and listen and let my heart and head be silent.
I am well thank you, and this may very well be an inner reaction to the change of seasons, or forces I cannot touch.
Hope this does not sound odd, but then -hey, most poets are half crazy anyway. *Grins*
*HUGS*
To: MEG33
Oh Meg, this is truly grand. Love it. The presentation is just perfect.
And the Psalm food for the soul.

Kisses and cuddles, yes, that's what you're worth! And these you've received from the day of your birth! Paradise started when life was received, Preceding the moment that you ever breathed! No man is an island, exempt from your charms! Or the touch of your hand or embraced in your arms, Or caressed with the fingers of fate at its best... Awaiting the honor of one truly blessed. Two lips left to reckon, and lowered eyes, too... My heart seeks to beckon the nearness of you... For what is the whole world itself worth to me If true love is distant and never to be? Yet hope springs eternal, it ever was so... You are the sweetheart my heart yearns to know...
Take away riches, the clothes off my back, And yet if you loved me, then nothing I'd lack. Your love is most precious, most gracious of all... Your kisses are luscious and sensuous to recall... Forgive me for falling in love with your face, Your body, your beauty, your skin soft as lace, Your ideals as noble as God would decree, Your patience and kindness and integrity. And if dreams are the only highway to love Then there I will love you as pure as a dove. Like an angel who's known you and cherished your soul, Who wishes your blessing and to at last see you're whole, Who prays for the future when struggles are done And Man's inner natures combine into one...
Kisses and cuddles, yes, that's what you're worth! And these you've received from the day of your birth! Paradise started when life was received, Proceeding the moment that you ever breathed! No man is an island, exempt from your charms! Or the touch of your hand or embraced in your arms, Or caressed with the fingers of fate at its best... Awaiting the honor of one truly blessed. Two lips left to reckon, and lowered eyes, too... My heart seeks to beckon the nearness of you... For what is the whole world itself worth to me If true love is distant and never to be? Yet hope springs eternal, it ever was so... Yes, you are the sweetheart my heart yearns to know...

Take a vacation without closing down completely. Renew, restore..and turn on a lot of lights when the days grow short..

Some light hearted humor....
Countrywomen
by Katherine Mansfield
These be two
Countrywomen.
What a size!
Grand big arms
And round red faces;
Big substantial
Sit-down-places;
Great big bosoms firm as cheese
Bursting through their country jackets;
Wide big laps
And sturdy knees;
Hands outspread,
Round and rosy,
Hands to hold
A country posy
Or a baby or a lamb—
And such eyes!
Stupid, shifty, small and sly
Peeping through a slit of sty,
Squinting through their neighbours’ plackets.
To: Lady Jag
Too cute. Love it.

Does this mean that I can quit sobbing and getting the floor all wet?
