The Dragonflies'Lair ~Thread L~
Poets of The Dragonflies' Lair | March 1, 2008 | Soaring Feather

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...

The Lair, was quiet last night
we laughed and danced the day away
when night fell -so did we

we partied all day
and needed the night
and sunk down into the down of sleep

the din of the day still echoes around the halls
we reminisced aplenty while listening to our memories
strong playing old tapes from the Fabulous Fifties.

We covered the tender years of our youth
we cruised through the Sixties and Seventies
our memory paper we unrolled in the elegance of the Eighties!

Nice thing about music we can take a trip and not leave the farm! LOL

The Nightway!

Wow, this is great! I love it.

It is supposed to be a benevolent Navajo healing ceremony. If you are not familiar with it, do a websearch.

I do not know why, but it always scared the daylights out of me. There is something so raw and elemental about it, maybe, the Judeo-Christian fear of invoking things that cannot be controlled?

Here.

Thanks so much for the link.

I have read Black Elk Speaks, this book left me sacred to the very core of me. It is raw and elemental. The ceremonies and rituals along with other strange and mysterious events were awesome.

And I too believe your sentence below says it all.

“the Judeo-Christian fear of invoking things that cannot be controlled?”
Yup, I think that’s true.

So true. For years on end I had the Thunderbird as an avatar on my checks.

My dearest friend was a full bloodied Ojibwa Native American, born on the Rez in Cape Crooker, Ontario. Canada.

She gave me the tortoise for my totem. She was the raven. We traveled many miles together. Most beautiful woman, I have ever known.

Happy Saturday Night
