Dragonfly


Dragonfly, oh Dragonfly, share with me your magic.
Your iridescence and illumination in contrast with the tragic.
And I can not help but wonder, are you Michael from beyond?
Do you come across my path to tell me peace you found?

So I stand there motionless and revel in your glory,
Fearing should I move, that I may miss your story.
And you speak to me through wordless flight,
With a message so divine, it can not be seen with sight.

You share a gift of love that can only be felt in faith-
A love that transcends all limits, surpasses time and space.
You share that your Spirit will never cease to exist,
That with physical form absent, the Spirit still persists.

You remind me to be present so I can feel the light.
You remind me to stop running for there is no need for flight.
You tell me I can see you in the sun, the moon, and sky-
You tell me embrace each moment and learn from the Dragonfly.
