It's a warm summer evening
the air is the perfect temperature
my body and the environment feel as one
i'm sitting on a park bench overlooking a pond
lily pads and reeds, a light mist is dancing
just above the water's surface
-
i'm watching in wonder as the twilight sky
shade-shifts like a color-caped super hero
many say that nature is the true cathedral
at this moment I cannot argue against their point
-
a flitting dragonfly captures my attention
darting, zipping, playing
a frog emits a deep croak
a sunset serenade
a solo voice that will become a choir
-
the dragonfly comes close to me
I can see the detail of its wings
the design as pellucid stained glass
and as i'm gazing through the panes
I see a woman approaching
non-descript as she's backlit by
the low, fading sun
-
it's rather an optical illusion
dragonfly wings have framed her
as if an image of a goddess on glass
she has long hair, I cannot tell the color
the hues of the waning hours
paint it with ethereal effect
-
her movements are rhythmic and graceful
captivating me as those of my dragonfly friend
she is now close by, offers me a smile and hello
I am left speechless as I feel the surge of countless emotions
As if feelings are her realm
And she is the queen
-
the dragonfly darts away
evening setting in
the woman no longer there
maybe this was all just a summer night's dream
a magic moment of light and sound
a stage set for illusions
and then a soft voice
May I sit with you for a while?
