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...

"I think that reaching-a-dead-end, making a change, then coming back after corrections is rather a normal and healthy process in life, would you say the same?"

Absolutely! As long as you don't go too far down the wrong path ...

Pathways

Sometimes there are decisions,
You don’t know what to do.
You must accept either this, or that.
When neither is right for you.

The word is antinomy,
A choice between two hells,
A crystal ball in stereo,
Misfortune that it tells.

There is a third discomfort,
The fact that you must choose,
No one else can do it,
And either way you lose.

Of ethical dilemmas,
With this I’m not impressed.
While anyone can flip a coin,
No one can pass the test.

I like a third alternative,
How did it come to this?
Along decision’s path you trod,
What did you seem to miss?

Somewhere there must have been a time,
One didn’t think it through,
And took a devious shortcut,
Which seemed equal to the true.

Having to choose between two bads,
Means good’s the other way,
How did we get this far along,
With choices made today?

It wasn’t recent choices,
That got us where we are,
Not long ago we skipped a step,
That now seems very far.

Oh, to go back and change the thing,
That brought us to this place,
And let us greet this turning with,
A smile upon our face!

Whenever you are choosing,
The way that you will go,
Look long, and study well,
Those miles you have to go.

The choices that you make today,
Will shape the world to come,
And where you get to will depend,
On where you’re coming from.

ROLFLOL Just could not resist could you??

[Lady Jag]

Happy Monday!

[Soaring Feather]

Very pretty! Thank You.


How does it go today??

[Lady Jag]

Cruddy looking day again, dark enough to need lights indoors...again. It's been a gloomy fall overall. Gloomy days didn't bother me till we started getting so damn many of them. It seems like it's been dark for 4 months with about five sunny days!

It's making it hard to get going but I have to...to some degree...we'll see.

How about you, kiddo?

[Soaring Feather]

Gloomy here too, my back is aching so badly I have all I can do to move around. I did the heating pad treatment over the weekend. Helps for a bit. Ice would be the best, but somehow I cannot face the thought of slapping an ice pack on the small of my back today. ;) Shock treatment is not in the cards.

My brother stopped around for coffee and a remember when session, LOL. It's good to see him, when Winter comes around he does not leave his place that much.

[Lady Jag]

Too bad about your back acting up. Do you know what aggravated it? I will pray for it, but besides the heating pad, what can you do for it?

[Soaring Feather]

Oh I have a med which will make me drowsy, but don't want to take it yet, have to do somethings out of the house.


I think it's the weather change that has kicked up the swelling in the lower back. Then the legs are affected, blah, blah, blah. Everyone has something to deal with.


Bottom line, I can walk. ;)

I call my beautician for an appointment, can't get in until January, she had back surgery and is back working only part time.


In the mean time I do my own hair.

[Lady Jag]

I just got a haircut.

It's like this.

Like it?

[Soaring Feather]

LOL, that's just about what I need-a short cut!
