" Dragonfly "

Were it so as legends tell~
Dragon on my bow may be~
That which now doth bode me well~
For he has now thus flown to me~

As he doth decide to perch~
I so steer my course with care~
I'll not chance to suffer lurch~
His legend what was won of dare~

Days so old when knights were bold~
Oft that tale o'dragon told~
Yet now he soars with us through time~
A legend yours a promise mine~

Must have he then heard my chant~
Or mayhap 'twas me a'rant~
For rode he well upon my craft~
Never once a'glancin' aft~

As on those waters we down went~
Days begun & so soft spent~
Adrift in time o'endless mind~
Friend such dragon I did find~

Told me tales o'times before~
O'such deeds o'days o'yore~
Yet captured me he'd done so well~
In mind o'dragon I did dwell~

Sailed that river to her bay~
Done that journey on that day~
Yet never ever shall I forget~
Dragon once landed upon my deck~
