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...

TOO PROUD TO WEEP



The day
you left, the gods
blacked out the sun. Enraged . . .
unbowed . . . I vowed I was too proud
to weep.

"No tears!"
I swore and sealed
my hurt inside. The pain
I dared not touch . . . the wound was much
too deep.

And so . . .
although the urge
consumes . . . I've managed thus . . .
so far . . . somehow . . . my somber vow
to keep.

But oh
the price I've paid!
When comes release? . . . Perhaps
if I could cry . . . perhaps then I
might sleep.

In honor of Old Sarge, I am re-posting one of my favorites of his poems, the the new Lair thread.

 

Sleeping Soldiers

 

Let sleeping soldiers lie,
men who, while they snore and sigh,
dream about you
safe and warm
behind their armor and guns.

Let sleeping soldiers lie,
men who, as they say goodbye,
will always pack their gear and go
to where the danger runs.

Training hard, and laughing harder,
partaking of life's full larder,
a soldiers' lot is all for those
who think the cost is cheap.

Eager hearts, whose boldness longing,
with their fellowship belonging,
shoulder arms to hold your freedom
for such, never weep!

For gladly marching, to dreadful daring,
any price or burden bearing,
keeping such as you in safety,
loved ones wait to welcome home,

Heroes' triumph, victory gallant,
accolades for virtuous talent,
our best reward, to see you smiling,
stronger love than song or poem.
