Dance of the Dragonfly
Folder:
2014
Large cup-shaped crater at the public gardens
Filled with water, lilies, and maiden grasses
Home to a family of ducks and koi, who
Swim gently under skipping water striders
A space free of predators. A protected habitat.
Ample time to watch the dragonflies dance
Above rippling water and wind-waved reeds
Pellets of food provided by hands outreached
When people have stopped their bustling
The sun’s hot rays have wrapped up the day
With Orion watching amid sparkling stars
On solid steady rock, I tuck my feet and head
Ease into a bowl-shaped slumber
Secure as protected unhatched egg
very vivid
with all the sounds, sights and smells of nature.
you are truly a gifted poet.

The ending was magnificent! - The middle magic, the beginning, rare - Just visited Niagra Botanical Gardents a few weeks ago. Habitat is a great word - Just Bein' Stella
Thank you
I love botanical gardens. Haven't seen Niagra yet. I'll add it to my To Do list.
