The Dragonflies'Lair~Tread LII
Poets of The Lair | May 1, 2008 | Soaring Feather

Posted on 04/30/2008 11:44:25 PM PDT by Soaring Feather





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...

Hope you see the baby fox again. I have a fox that crosses my yard. When I take my Yorkie out at night I stay right by him.

As you were sleeping the muse visited me. She harangued me in to completing something that I started the last time that I was in Phoenix.

Sparkling lights in the midst of darkness

As I wander the desert at night
There in its darkness is an abundance of light
With such a bright light the stars they do shine
With light from above that is so divine

Beaming light down all around
And lighting my pathway on the ground
In the midst of the desert where no city light is in view
Many stars make their debut

Light coming from stars that are so far away
Some of their light has been traveling for many a day
Light from stars that are now dead
At least that is what I have read

As I carefully and watchfully walk around
Eeriness abounds as the night is filled with a multitude of sounds
The coyotes wail a mournful howl
And a mountain lion lets loose with a ferocious growl

By the light of the stars many creatures can to be found
As snakes, scorpions and lizards and others run around
Life and death are therefore present in the middle of the night
And then dawn breaks and floods the desert with light

As the sun starts to rise
Other images appear to my eyes
The light from the stars have now disappeared from the sky
The mightiness of the desert returns under a clear blue sky

The nocturnal desert noises have ceased and the desert is quiet once more
And perspiration exudes from every pore
But no one cannot forget the deserts beautiful sight
When the desert sky exploded with sparkling lights that come out at night

Good morning, everyone!
Well, I have discovered why the painting is taking so long!
Tomkow, all, well, guess what I saw yesterday, snowflakes! They did not last long, but it was snow.

Sparkling lights in the midst of darkness

NYA, excellent images. Very clearly you tell us what you saw, a desert collage of night scenes, complete with the sounds of desert creatures, melding into a new days dawn.
