Dragonfly 


An odd thing in the sky 
An alien aircraft
Four webbed wings and two enormous 
compound eyes 
An elongated twig of a frame
A dragonfly 
Cold blooded
Outdating the dinosaur  and mankind 
A catcher of prey in midair
Butterfly, moth , fly
And its own kind
A divine creation and design 
Withstanding the test of time 

Gathering  by the water to replenish and to multiply 

Delicate wings trapped in sticky, 
syrupy glue from an opening of the bark 
of a ginkgo  tree 
Rolling from the leaf to the ground 
Trapping anything around
Crystalized and fossilized in time 

When they are caught on spiked and 
dewy droplet traps
Such plants slowly consume its contents 
Their brief breaths taken
Surrendered are their flightless wings
Come autumn and wintry chills
Their lives near its end 
With heavy frost , they collapse to the ground 
Food for the crowd 

Kiln fired ruby, turquoise and 
sapphire fairies lose their hue 
And dissolve into a clear, translucent doom

On a sky blue day by the swamp one stood on my finger and stared into my eyes
A series of pictures crossed my mind
Awoken memories of pastimes 

Truths rekindled my light
I smiled with gratitude 
My spirit revived and energized 
At once, joy filled my heart
