Dragonfly, 10 Floors Up



"Dragonfly, 10 Floors Up"

I saw a dragonfly today
hovered outside my window
I was a ghost floating 10 floors up

it saw me,
we flew away

They are beautiful! Colors, motion of flight...quite an enchantment. The eye is such a flighty sense, with flame of the dragon flies; transparent becomes a ghostly tense, anonymous~ we flit, soar and sigh….

I have been known to be Zen on the rare occasion...blame it on the monster dragonfly flapping it's wings outside my window. In truth, I think I scared the bejesus out of it...
