Poem
If only I could ride upon the back of a dragonfly~ O', what journey I would behold... I receive the wind's forced breath against my face-and revel in my locks rolling in the vibrant sunlight. We hover just above a splash of rainbow painted flowers, that kiss my toes with open petals of joy. The scent so pure, shall decorate my skin forevermore. We crest high into the ocean tinted sky. Humbly greet birds which share in our gift, and delight us in symphonies of angelic praise. I close my eyes for a startled moment, as we dance through a vineyard of bumble bees- "Buzz,Buzz," They caution sternly to us, their unexpected visitors. A smile imposes my lips at the thought of their disrupted task; Only to pass them, look over my shoulder and witness their purpose resume within natural elegance. A shimmering mirror of water now lies underfoot. I feel the warmth of the sun's reflection cast up under our joined form. "Faster, faster!" I command my fairy-friend. As I lay down flat and wrap my limbs snugly around to secure myself, our speed begins to flourish. With quick, steady, pace, we descend onto the water's surface. Skips and twists- twirl into a tango of splashes, which shower my face with each perfectly intentional bounce. The tickle rises up from deep in my belly, I laugh, a laugh full of true obliviation. Dragonfly now lifts, higher and higher we go- As I glide upon heavenly stilled wings. We drift within utopian clouds, they pass before our sights like vapored curtains before a theater of whimsy, unveiling a masterpiece. The presented gift, is that of majestic mountain tops that promise the scent of sweetly perfumed evergreen. This aroma leaves me breathless. The aroma evokes childhood visions of wishing stars, and kisses goodnight. I inhale the memory for a moment longer, cherishing the scent before I must once again grow older. My friend I have been blessed to dance in the breeze with, slows to a transcending idol. We encircling the center of a noble rose. We descend gently into the heart of the queen of flowers, and land on her royal stage. I delicately climb down, lay upon her silk; and closed my eyes to dream. Dreams which have atlas' transpired to become, my long awaited reality. If only I could ride upon the back of a dragonfly~ O', what journey I would behold...
