Dragonfly Pond
Oct 25, 2001 -- As I lay in the cool, moist sand, mesmerized,Watching the chain of events unfold around me,
Water skeeter is skating across the pond
While the honeybees go about their days’ work pollinating the blackberry blossoms.
As I lay in the cool, moist sand, watching,
The pesky mosquitoes take twice their weight in blood each time they strike
While trout hides quietly in shadows
And frog hops onto a rock to say hello.
As I lay in the cool, moist sand, watching,
The stifling heat brings with it the fragrance of blossoms
And the sweet smell of uncut hay.
As I lay in the cool, moist sand, watching,
A pair of dragonflies arrives to perform a ballet,
Flitting to and fro, pirouetting like two ballerinas
Landing gently on the water, wings slowly pulsating in the sun.
As I lay in the cool, moist sand, watching.
A sow bug comes plodding along with its hard shell and many legs.
My stomach growls hungrily;
Unwilling, I say goodbye to my friends.
