A Dragonfly
   of windless wings,
an emptiness
   which lost love brings ...

If meant to fly
   such love will soar
and live for years,
   lost nevermore.

But time does tell
   and takes its toll
when air goes stale
   and starves the soul.

With fierceness
   of what hearts know,
reluctantly,
   we face, let go ...

Dragonfly
   by legends born,
search forever
   for love that's sworn.



Fear is a blindness, heart is the cure.   -   C. Belville 02

Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind.  Unknown

Yes!
We soar so high don't we?
Seems as if nothing can disturb such a high.
Then suddenly no more lift.
As in a vacuum we plunge straight down to the depths of despair.

That's why we have to be careful for whom we decide to fly that way.

Enjoyed the imagery!
God bless.
Thanks for sharing!

I like the style ..... I think I understand the author to mean that love without a place to light is like a flightless dragonfly ... Yes ?

... and they sent him home happy ... one hundred percent.

Deep inside the stillness
........I can hear you speak
You're still an inspiration
........To me
