My Dragon Fly 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...

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?

Why—do they shut Me out of Heaven?
 
 

Why—do they shut Me out of Heaven?
Did I sing—too loud?
But—I can say a little "Minor"
Timid as a Bird!

Wouldn't the Angels try me—
Just—once—more—
Just—see—if I troubled them—
But don't—shut the door!

Oh, if I—were the Gentleman
In the "White Robe"—
And they—were the little Hand—that knocked—
Could—I—forbid?

Emily Dickinson

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
