Briar and the Dragonfly
Briar and the Dragonfly
Seated in a saddle on a dragonfly in flight
Shimmering upon the evening skies
Iridescent flickerings beneath this moonlit night
Magical this scene before my eyes
Smiling like a crescent with a firefly in tow
Laughing as the trees have come to play
Eyes they glow illumined as the springtime breezes flow
Shining like a diamond on display
“Hey there on the ground”, she hollers as she passes by
“How’d you like to join me on my trek?”
Reaching out a hand I see her beauty makes me try
Hopping on I utter, “what the heck?”
Through a blooming garden I hold tightly as we soar
Daffodils and rose buds sing their song
Irises are waving, tell me who could ask for more
Happy that I chose to tag along
She said, “My name is Briar and my dragonfly’s is Bliss”
“Inspire me, he does most every day”
I answered, “Please to meet you and my friends all call me Chris”
“I really do enjoy this, I must say”
Through a maze of hedges, like a sea of feathered green
Underneath an arbor made of wood
Woven tight with Jasmine, aromatic and pristine
Many are the years this place it stood
We flew above the water seeing ripples in a curve
My grin reflects the surface smooth as glass
Around the bend a cat tail that we miss now as we swerve
Enchanted as these moments come to pass
Then I heard a ringing so annoying and so loud
Startled, my alarm clock it did scream
Opening my weary eyes, a hazy kind of shroud
Knowing now that this was all a dream
Now I lay here frowning with her picture in my mind
Hopping that the day will hurry by
So it will be nighttime and another chance to find
Briar and her friend the dragonfly
Good night Soupers
