Dragonfly Dreams

Dragonfly dreams
and a buzzing melody
surrounds and silences
the pounding of the mind.
Bees wearing yellow and black
crawl amongst the petals
of inviting purple blossoms,
searching without need and thought
of life’s complexities.
A single thrush glides with ease
across the leaves of trees,
playing with a single butterfly
that watches over the water’s waves.

Silence of nature
shatters with motors
of a speeding boat,
crashing through the ripples,
ruining nature’s peace,
ending my dragonfly dreams.
