Dragonfly Summer

Dragonfly Summer

I saw you perched

there on the wire

delicate

beautiful

poised and magical

so vivid in your colors

your wings just like gauze
your eyes were so tiny
your body was so very small

your eyes stared at me

you didn't move a bit 

I came in closer

just wanting a look

totally aware you

might fly away

but you didn't

you stayed for me

little dragonfly friend

with my camera in my pocket

I reached in even closer

it is as if you knew

what I was trying to do

I captured this picture

of you little one
thank you for staying
and not flying away

dragonfly summer

gentle and relaxing

simplistic and wishful

you symbolize

change

now you got me to thinking

what changes are coming?

where am I going?

what will I leave behind?

dragonfly summer

what beauty to behold

all on a lazy

Sunday afternoon
a quick moment in time
I will never forget
thank you little dragonfly
for making me smile
