Dragonflies
Dragonflies What are dragon flies? Something colorful flying by. A small critter that skims across the water. Maybe just a messenger? A positive symbol. A way to keep life simple. Transformation into the new. A spiritual change in pursuit. Rebirth of new beginnings. Fly as far as you can see. Don’t hold anything back. An...

These wanderers defy winter's chill Suspended in the frosty air — I count the hours, lost in despair Since carefree days we can't fulfill My old radio crackles, weak Amidst the noise and static's hum — Remember how we'd twirl and drum Beneath those moons on...

Premium Member 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. ...

Premium Member Dragonflies And Rolling Boulders
Frequently left with no logic when wet with amorous magick; Dragonflies and rolling boulders, cohesive thought left in embers; A soft touch in heavy silence leads to an act of defiance; Locked up with metallic handcuffs you won’t hear me utter rebuffs; To follow the heartbeat in me? They may say it’s a bit crazy; Arrested ‘cause I won’t comply, I’ll plead the...

Premium Member Cabernet and Dragonflies
cabernet and dragonflies - red and green fireworks flitting about tall trunks; the woods is dark. patio lit with tea lights, amber and ebony. pink-crèpe jellyfish, in uttermost twilight, suspended from jumbo umbrella. breadsticks, like twigs, snap; several copious charcuteries. flickering fate, speed of light ...

Premium Member THANKFUL FOR DRAGONFLIES
Today I’m thankful for dragonflies. We find them by ponds, in lakes in rivers and by streams. I love how the first people to populate this land believed dragonflies were the deliverers of dreams. And I particularly love this indigenous point of view: If a dragonfly sits on your shoulder… all your dreams will come true. ...

On our walk the other morning as we reached the water’s edge…much to our surprise there among the usual animals…we saw a swarm of dragonflies. Flying around us willy-nilly…apparently without a care. Looking left and right and up and down…we saw dragonflies everywhere. Seemingly out of nowhere…these dragonflies appeared… which made us wonder…what in heaven’s name could they be doing...

Premium Member Kissing Dragonflies
The newborn dawn caresses outstretched arms of cattails surrounding the circumference of a tranquil pond. Before breakfast the reed maces say grace, and beckon for warmth on an April day. The spring peepers sing their morning melodies, to serenade the incoming day. Tiny ripples disrupt the water’s peace. Above those tiny waves two shining dragonflies kissed, erratically swayed, and kissed again before their golden flakes fell, and gave...

Premium Member Dragonflies and Damselflies
I’ve seen them many times before just outside my back porch door, dancing ‘round from high to low ‘round and ‘round and “Doe-See-Doe.” On glittering, gossamer, ghost like wings flickering like hummingbirds in the spring, yet smaller still to stalk their prey of beasty bugs far less than they. From water born, transformed larvae shedding, molting 'til set free, into the world of earth, sky,...

My mind foggy with too much stress, I chose to saunter along and imagine pastoral scenes that I had seen. I dreamed of fields and meadows all in green, painted with the colors of the multi-hued perennial Spring. As I walked, I felt my mind easing into a comfortable stride with me. We passed a calming stream with fish and frogs and dragonflies. Each...

Premium Member Dragonflies Remain Unchanged
Dragonflies have remained nearly unchanged for about three hundred million years. How researchers know this, I cannot say, I suspect they have studied fossils of them. They are adaptable, able to live in almost any condition. ...
