Dragon fly
far away
never to return

etchings
paper thin
transparent truths
carried on wings of love
      
     
 landing
     
 hovering

               flitting

blown by wind
blown dreams
spinning promises
golden hair treasures

a fairy tale
of heroes
and champions
slay the dragon fly
far away

  5. Delicate portrait of something a bit more than an insect, though those fragile wings can carry the imagination many miles.
