Those Dragonfly Eyes

Somewhere deep in the Bavarian Woods
the trees break open the sky.
The atmosphere shatters and glistens elite
a'shine in your dragonfly eyes.

The iridescent moon is full.
You're wings gleam purple and blue.
The boughs of the breakers halo alive
have punctured the infinite view.

It's a wonder that the world can sleep tonight
as the sky leaks out unnoticed.
With only you and your dragonfly eyes
as the tree tops character witness.
