The Dragonflies'Lair~Thread LIII
Soaring Feather and Poets of The Lair | June 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...

Beautiful dragonfly, watching the night
over our Lair making sure all is right
his soft eyes miss not a trick

even tho the wick is not lit
his wings damp with dew
he is almost frozen

but morning’s sun stirs
him from his drowsing
he flexes his wings
he keen eyes open wide

looks round our lair
to see with surprise
the muse has moved the poets

to leave us a treasure
to ponder and wonder
a most superb gift
written with the delicate
touch of the poets hand.

Sweet Dragonfly
 
  You will see me when it's light,
My colors dazzle and delight.
I'm ancient in the world you live
And if you ask me, I shall give...

The wisdom that is mine, is yours
A set of keys for all the doors
You'll need to open, one by one
Until your earthly work is done.

With love and magick, you shall weave
Together all that you believe.
To form a blessed soul connection
And find a path of new direction.

Take my energy deep within
And feel the transformation begin.
On my healing powers, you can rely
For I am you, Sweet Dragonfly!

Janet K. Rauch

How I love this poem, Sweet Dragonfly, wonderful find.

I hope today finds your summer cold leaving.

It’s overcast here today but no sign of rain yet. We may be able to avoid the storm as we did yesterday.

That is dreamy and touching. Great work!

The piece came very fast - wrote itself literally. I love when that happens.

Hey, girl! Got your a/c on yet? I just heard we're expecting several more days of high humidity.

Withing the last 13 days I've been to the ER twice. Two weeks ago for a kidney stone and Friday night for the respiratory distress. Came home from the Friday visit with a fistful of prescriptions and am already beginning to feel much improved.

It's 80 here and humid, of course.

Just have the a/c in the living room, that’s were my computer is. Temp here is 81F with 51% humidity, not so bad really.

Sorry about your latest visit to the ER, sounds like they patched you up for the good. That’s a good thing.
