Enchanting Things - Tracy R.Cardinet©2014 CAL USA
September came, with gentle sigh
Seducing tranquil dragonfly
Upon my screen door, it did rest
So lovely, with its wings outstretched
.
Perhaps the coolness from within
Felt nice and, thereby, welcomed him
Making him forget the autumn
Like spring, it felt, from top to bottom
.
He stayed but for a little while
This dragon with no flame
I loved his beauty, loved his style
Was delighted that he came
.
Then, all at once, he was gone
Left no trace of his essence
Except that, which now lies upon
My heart, like effervescence
.
How long does a dragon live
A dragon with translucent wings
No matter – ‘twas a fairy gift
A wellspring of enchanting things
.
