Poem Title:
Poem
Dragonfly-the miracle insect Oh… Dragonfly, the miracle insect You are the symbol of change and self realization Source of mental and emotional maturity, Your scurrying flight across water represents an act of going beyond the surface glance at deeper implications and aspects of life. Your agile flight and its ability to move in all six directions Exclude a sense of power and poise this can be seen only with age and maturity. Your speed at amazing 45 miles an hour Hover like a helicopter and fly backward like a hummingbird, Fly straight up, down and on either side Your wing strokes elegance and grace just like a veteran ballet dancer You are wonderful and exhibits Iridescence both on your wings as well as body It is kaleidoscopic Your eyes are wonderful most amazing and awe inspiring sights You can see in all 360 degrees around That symbolizes the uninhibited vision of the mind And ability to see beyond the limitations of the human self You are innocent and harmless, not bite To Japanese you are a symbol of summer and autumn And admired and respected all Samurai use you as a symbol of power and best of all victory For Chinese you are a symbol of prosperity, harmony and as a good luck charm To Native Americans you are a sign of happiness, speed and purity because you eats from the wind itself Those may be the hidden facts that you have inhabited our planet for almost 300 Million years!
