My Dragon Fly and Me

If I could be a Dragon Fly
and wing my way through the sky
I would never be shy
just me and my Dragon Fly!

By moonlight we ride the wind
chase the comets tail for fun
by day we would hide from the sun
our fragile wings would come undone

On darkest nights we would use
fireflies as our guide
we would dip and we would glide
through the heavens open wide
and scatter diamonds in the night sky
my Dragon Fly and me...

And we would wing past our lovers
silent in the night...
to kiss their face in our flight
much to their surprise and delight
my Dragon Fly and me in sight...

Such a view do we share
away up here in the air
of breezes soft through our hair
my Dragon Fly and me a pair...

Well, er.. um.. Yes..


My best friend (later step-daughter) and I wore the same size in clothing on the dot.
(Except for shirts, obviously.)

Well, I was wearing a hunter green shirt, turtle neck, and military boots with hairy legs sticking out of the hem of a blue pleated miniskirt.
(Shoulda been a Kilt!)

The sales lady wandered up and asked if she could assist.
(Hairy legs weren't a tipoff?)
I said "YES! I would like to purchase this item!"
She looked like she was going to have a stroke, and held a hand to the side of her head.
And then asked me to leave..

LOL!

[Darksheare]

What can I say, I have a rather twisted sense of humor.
The kind of humor where I'd ride in the trunk of a car with fake blood on my arm as it dangles out the trunk hatch...
...and shakes someone's hand when they come to investigate.

Oh! bentfeather, Queen of all goodness,
a question arises.

Is political satire in poem and song tolerated in the sweetness and light of the Dragonflies Lair?

if so, is it then encouraged?

[Soaring Feather]

Paths

The path to heaven is long and  sweet,

burning under my stumbling feet.

A path leading  left another right,

 I turn and find the dead of night.

The Lord is near whenever I fall, 

no  need for me to even call.

He lifts me up to  help  me stay right.

I feel His love His warmth so bright.

The path to heaven is shorter and sweet,

For God is there to steady my feet.
