Orchard of Dragonflies

The sky scatters pixie dust~ across orchards of dragonflies; while in sunflowers, the stars do trust, tracing tales through kohl-lit eyes. A fairy cloaked in soft florals~ fragranced moon-mists and rhinestone rust. But within veins of golden corals, she weaves hope with saffron crust.

You weave a poem out of thin air. So many astounding lines that thrill the soul of poetry. Loved orchards of dragonflies; tracing tales, fragranced moon-mists and rhinestone rust. All so beautiful. Victor
