Nature and Creation Envy

I saw a dragonfly today

        Skimming over the surface of a still pond

It’s beauty reflecting the light

        Colours of blue, green opalescent delight

It’s wings fluttering as it flew effortlessly

        It’s a sample of nature in full silent flight

It dances weaves, glides and hovers with ease

        I wish this dragonfly was me flying freely

On a filigree wing so peacefully

        I have a case of nature and creation envy

Yet can you blame me.

I love dragonflies; I saw one yesterday, and it made me feel so happy. Any dragonfly poem is a winner, and this is certainly one.

Absolutely stunning poem I love the imagery!! I will always remain a dragonfly as my avatar and have a silver filigree brooch on the lapel of my coat so it is always with me - I wrote a poem about it, must find it and post it!:-) Into my faves:-):-) hugs jan xx
