Dragonflies are timeless bold creatures
found in the amber fossils of millennium
as is innocence secured wonder cocooned
in everything I saw around me
whether it was earthen brown
or flowers christened
by the sun
I drank everything in endless thirst
always yearning to understand
and to grasp all the words
to weave into life
even when threads
were frayed
So the years did not diminish
my questions nor
bring solace
to answers
There is youth no longer here
when reflections are
made of wrinkled sagging skin
but youth only rests
within the perimeters
of my mind
So that there will yet be a moment
where the light shines bright
and the fire burning glows
revealing the happiness and joy
I felt in being aware
That there are those things timeless
like questions and answers
held within my mind
not loved nor cherished
with my heart
I know now without pause for doubt
there will always be
dragonflies
