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...

She is a traveling artist. Spends the winter in the South. I have been to St. Petersburg, Fl. Loved it there. Went through the Salvador Dali museum. What a treat.

Beautiful graphic. I love the Font Face Choice. The graphic is perfect, the poetry is perfect. Thank You.
As for a cloudy day, well, the sky found the sun here and let the sunshine in.
To: Soaring Feather
Graphic: Borrowed off the web...I hope 'Adelia' doesn't mind my tweaking her image to fit the poem. I DID give her a photo credit, even though she might not recognize the photo as hers... now.
Font: It's 'Black Chancery'. Not sure where I got it originally, but it appears you can likely still snag a free copy here if you want it...

...One thing about foggy days... They're good for yard work. ...I'm off to get some mowing done. We're supposed to get rain tomorrow.
Blessings to you and all your 'Lair' friends!

Out In The Fields With God
Anonymous
The little cares that fretted me
I lost them yesterday
Among the fields, above the sea,
Among the winds at play,
Among the lowing of the herds,
The rustling of the trees,
Among the singing of the birds,
The humming of the bees.
The foolish fears of what might happen,
I cast them all away,
Among the clover-scented grass,
Among the new-mown hay,
Among the husking of the corn,
Where drowsy poppies nod,
Where ill thoughts die and good are born--
Out in the fields with God.
~~~

When you're up against a trouble,
Meet it squarely, face to face;
Lift your chin and set your shoulders,
Plant your feet and take a brace.
When it's vain to try to dodge it,
Do the best that you can do;
You may fail, but you may conquer,
See it through!
Black may be the clouds about you
And your future may seem grim,
But don't let your nerve desert you;
Keep yourself in fighting trim.
If the worst is bound to happen,
Spite of all that you can do,
Running from it will not save you,
See it through!
Even hope may seem but futile,
When with troubles you're beset,
But remember you are facing
Just what other men have met.
You may fail, but fall still fighting;
Don't give up, whate'er you do;
Eyes front, head high to the finish.
See it through!
