The Dragonfly and Me
My fascination as a child was holding a Dragonfly
With fairy wings and the kiss of Spring
I kept an eye out for the Dragonfly.
They were my friends between the flowers
They taught me how to dance and dart
Touching hovering stalking and gently walking
I took one prisoner one day, and hid it under the sink
I tied a string to it’s tail and trapped it in a wink
He buzzed all day and I was caught and served my time
My mother stood and made me untie the string
He stumbled once and flew away with his crystal wings
I met him out the back door, now a friend and not a foe
I now can see my folly, I wont hurt him anymore.
My dreams were of hovering Dragonfly’s
With me on ones back he darted up and swooped down
I held on tight with all my might the buzzing drowned
out my fright the laughter now louder than my doubts
I woke up with a start, it was still night
I grabbed my cuddly Dragonfly and slept on through the night.
