Dragonflies Dreaming

Golden meadows
Sun dripping off ears of grain
A dragonfly, passing by
Finds herself caught up in its ethereal glow
Hovering gently, she rests her weary wings
Upon a single grassy castle below
Light rain moistens the scene
Inviting a rainbow to spread itself 
Slowly across a patch of sky
One by one, each bow sends its colour 
Off on a journey, to mix up the blue
The dragonfly closes her eyes
She lets a little breeze 
Rock her back and forward
Lets it tickle her soft slender body
Lets the sun play with her iridescence
Lets the hum of a thousand cicadas fill her ears
Lets the song of a distant meadowlark
Ease her out of this reality and into another
Lets the raindrops wash away her heartache
Down below, ants scurry about their busy work
Worms blindly but diligently aerate the earth
Up above, a small plane flies high in the sky
Knowing nothing of the richness below
And here, in the grass castles 
Af a sun-drenched meadow
A dragonfly dreams in peace
