Here be Dragonflies

Once

There was a time

When the world was filled

With dragonflies, only.

The sun’s rays shimmered

In delight at their song

While the wind sang harmonies

And it was oh, so pretty.

It was almost perfect, in fact,

Until they finally realized

There was no one on earth

To dance along with,

To record their flight,

To share in their beauty.

There was no one

Who would ever

Dream  

Of wings.
