My eyes get caught
in the lattice work
of the iridescent dragonfly wings
A map into infinity
blessed by magic and joy
———————————————-
Here in the field
where the dragonflies wing
Joy rises in my chest
lilting, fluttering joy
One misty, moisty morning
spider hid in her little hideaway
All web-building put on hold
she had time to reflect
in her spider fashion
"Hmmm," she thought
"A juicy fly would taste
mighty fine right now!"
In the circle of her intention
The heart expanded with exhilaration
and the Spirit soared
On windstreams
of inspiration
The bouncing red rubber ball
went everywhere
Without heeding
rules of decorum…
Just a happy being
expressing joy
Restless in the crevices
where the backwaters
splash and swirl
And the eddies of my thoughts
turn around and round
Yet at the center
where the minnows meet
it is still and calm
I float and breathe
in peace meal breath
