If we could fly with dragonflies
If we could fly with the dragonflies we would see so much in
such tiny spaces.
We would see colours darting through the light and raindrops
drifting in the wind.
Our world would be small but precious and wrapped up in with
such care.
The green pond water would reflect our glow as our wings
brushed the water lilies that chuckle below.
We would paint a picture and puncture it with tiny holes and
then tuck in our wings and fly right through.
The breeze would gather force and catch us in an instant
before carrying us higher and higher to float with the clouds.
After some rest in the sky above we would dive right back
into our world and catch tiny movements at the end of the pond.
Collecting those movements to feed our souls we would gently
fly to find the right leaf.
Once found, we would hover and then sit to watch all around
as light danced with the bees and flowers shook with glee.
Our wings would stretch to soak up the sun before batting it
back as fast as it had come.
If we could fly with the dragonflies we would cherish our
world and turn on the lights inside our wings.
If we could fly with the dragonflies our days would be short
but our life would be full.
