I Liken Myself To a Dragonfly
I liken myself to a dragonfly
Settling with papery rustle
To briefly watch
The world go by
Then to flit away
In a hurried hustle
To settle anew
And to anew espy
To gaze about
In wide-eyed wonder
I try to take it all in
Again…before I fly
The wonder of water
The sound of thunder
I perceive through the eyes
Of the dragonfly
I hear the flowers
Each and every one
I taste the wind
I absorb the sun
Tis only human I am
But in my mind I cause
my form to morph…
into another wondrous one
I liken myself
to a dragonfly
With parchment wings
And faceted eye
The better to see
All things that matter to me
And fathom the
scheme of the sky
