Today I Touched a Dragonfly

Today I touched a dragonfly
Whose wings were singed by sun
Stroked the lightning fast bolt of tail
Far off, I heard somebody sigh
Felt myself rise above the plains
To ride the wind like an ancient stream
He was made of golden sails
I thought I was inside some dream
He tilted his head from side to side
In his costume of airy chain-mail
I never thought the day would come
A dragonfly would pause
So I could touch his buoyant frame
And feel the breeze it draws.

What a sunny encounter you had, Patti..Surely a dragonfly is a good companion.

What an experience Pattie - -a fantastic once-in-a-lifetime chance and you versed it so vividly I felt I was there watching you ..... if of course it came straight from your wonderful imagination - - still is an image to keep long after the verse is read..... xxFay
