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

*

A word in hand is worth two in a hush ...  CTOwen/05

Forevermore is a lovely dream, and always worth dreaming.

you already know I love this...

There are moments when speech
is but a mouth pressed lightly and
humbly against the angel's hands

"if meant to fly such love will soar"

yep, and if it doesn't? just be ready, for the next dragonfly may well be the one that takes you on a forever flight

Karen -  thank you sweet lady, glad you enjoyed!

KC -  Ever notice the flutter of a Dragonfly? ...
        those wings beat like there is no tomorrow ...
         yet they just glide from place to place
         like each is perfect for that very moment ....

             hmmmm .... catchy, ain't it!!!  

       thank you my friends for all the smiles you bring!!!
