I Saw a Dragon Fly

I saw a dragon fly.
This wasn't my imagination
He was a reflection in the water near my boat
From the clouds in the sky.
Pictures don't lie.
The dragon was there for a short duration.
I saw a dragon fly.
I saw it with my own eye.
The dragon looked like it was in slow animation
He was a reflection in the water near my boat
From the clouds in the sky.
I was wondering what this may signify?
Could it be that magical creatures live in one 
Location?
I saw a dragon fly.
To this I can testify.
No. I wasn' t on medication
He was a reflection in the water near my boat
From the clouds in the sky.
I hereby certify
With exhilaration
I saw a dragon fly
He was a reflection in the water near my boat
From the clouds in the sky.

I like how this can be both the noun fly and the verb!! Very creative.
