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.

  3. ~ Tammie: Thanks for your comment! The dragonfly in the (layered) photo above stopped by my garden one quiet afternoon and the poem stemmed from that.
