Dragonfly
Dragonfly.
By the waters edge you fly, your slender body skimming over the reeds.
Your wings transparent in the sunlight, like wisps of angels wings that glow.
You dart about looking for insects to consume, a predator, of such beauty.
The colours of your body, green, purple, silver, shine like a precious jewel,
so awesome and fragile. You sparkle as you move rapidly, like a flash of light,
dancing like a ballerina, the river your stage, the insects the audience.
