I Purity in its truest form Dancing above the waves and lilies Red, yellow, green Dots against soulful blues Nourished by the breeze itself II Ghostly on my shoulder Weighing the stones in my soul III The sun rests On a dragonfly’s scales It’s yawns are visible On the tips of its wings IV Prismatic dragon Scales ultraviolet Ancient Armored Safe V Aquatic prisoner Sheltered from air and light Waiting under the second sky VI An agent of the most meddlesome gods Messenger to the discouraged Reminder of grief Comforter to the lost VII Horse stinger Snake stitcher Devil’s friend I agree VIII Elusive secret keeper Whose ears are too far to whisper to Oh what breaths I would share IX Scientifically simple Spiritually overwhelming Good luck charm Or bad omen Depending on point of origin X Four iridescent wings Veined, sectioned Beating thirty times in a heartbeat Labor so strenuous For a spirit made of wind XI Ageless Mythic in both beauty and purpose A serpent in life Flight found only in rebirth Metamorphosis XII Returned friend Paused briefly on naked skin My questions unanswered The burn of death where four feet rested Have you found happiness? XIII The sun rises in the east The dragonfly stirs at death

Thirteen Ways to See a Dragonfly
I Purity in its truest form Dancing above the waves and lilies Red, yellow, green Dots against soulful blues Nourished by the breeze itself II Ghostly on my shoulder Weighing the stones in my soul III The sun rests On a dragonfly’s scales It’s yawns are visible On the tips of its wings IV Prismatic dragon Scales ultraviolet Ancient Armored Safe V Aquatic prisoner Sheltered from air and light Waiting under the second sky VI An agent of the most meddlesome gods Messenger to the discouraged Reminder of grief Comforter to the lost VII Horse stinger Snake stitcher Devil’s friend I agree VIII Elusive secret keeper Whose ears are too far to whisper to Oh what breaths I would share IX Scientifically simple Spiritually overwhelming Good luck charm Or bad omen Depending on point of origin X Four iridescent wings Veined, sectioned Beating thirty times in a heartbeat Labor so strenuous For a spirit made of wind XI Ageless Mythic in both beauty and purpose A serpent in life Flight found only in rebirth Metamorphosis XII Returned friend Paused briefly on naked skin My questions unanswered The burn of death where four feet rested Have you found happiness?
