Last night at sunlight's fading, ...I walked along a lane, Beyond the reach of city's din, ...across wide Kansas plain, Through fields of chaff from combine's swath; ...rent stalks of once gold wheat, Through fields of grass and flowers wild, ...beneath my weary feet, Until at last, a hidden pond, ...the place of which I sought, To find a log on which to sit, ...to ponder as I thought, Of a day now gone, a day passed by, ...and of a day not yet to be, Alone I sat at water's edge, ...as free as one can be, When before me flew a dragonfly, ...with wings in frenzied flight, Darting, dipping, to and fro, ...in the calm of almost night, I turned my eyes unto the heavens, ...gazed up into the skies, And wondered if someone was there, ...gazing down on dragonflies.

loved the mental images this gave me  It is said the Creator has taken a handful of South Wind and given each newborn Arabian the power of flight without wings |

When before me flew a dragonfly, ...with wings in frenzied flight, Darting, dipping, to and fro, ...in the calm of almost night, I turned my eyes unto the heavens, ...gazed up into the skies, And wondered if someone was there, ...gazing down on dragonflies. ~*~ I cannot think of how many poets could relate to this... all of us, I think... someone very close to me said, "what if God looked at us through a microscope...." and I have never forgotten her words.... A beautiful poem, Tim. Thank you. |

Hello Tim Your words were simply breathtaking and I felt like I was sitting there beside the pond watching he dragonflies skim across the water. The images presented through your words were fabulous. Take care......Sue I am in motion |
