Dragonflies

The graceful arcs glide
Round and round
Upon the light of morning
They soar.
In a pool of neon silk
Slender crescents bathe
To a blur
Rising higher and higher
To the beat of the heart
And the eyes sing and sting
As the iridescent wings whir
In pairs
Like glass but not breaking
In synchronized dances they
Escape
In harmonious flaps they
Flee
To the sky
To the sun
To the next sunrise
They fly away
"To live,.... love,..... there's a song to be sung,....
'cause we may not be the Young Ones,..."

    i like dragonflies too. when i ws little they would freak me out cause they'd glide low over the surface of our pool when we were in it. i thought they were after me. now i see them as beautiful.
    hear my name
    take a good look
    this could be the day
    hold my hand
    lie beside me
    i just need to say

    i love dragonflies. i'm planning to get a tattoo of one soon. it will be my first.

    i think what i like about them is that they seem a bit scary but are actually somewhat fragile. kinda what i like in a man, too. ;)

    Of which we're caught in the middle.
