The Dragonfly Whisperer

A long-tailed skimmer (Plathemis lydia) with lovely striking wings 
both transformed and adaptable, transforming right before my eyes 
Settled on my hand she's like an Alien object from heaven above
she is probably weighing my soul and deciding how much it weighs 

Though they often perch on shoreline vegetation this one did not 
she came and kept me company opening space for me to smile 
Abundance in God's creation has me wondering about my heart 
how much it longs for beauty and all the things that make it whole 

She helped me find the positive in situations that I thought were dire 
from a nymph in the water to a winged adult she came for a short stay 
Inside my soul there is an agate that is as precious as the stars of night 
it is there that I will send her, to wait for me, until it gets light...

Until I find the strength to do the things that I must do in this lifetime 
and I'll give her thanks for her visit, even if it was only for a short time. 

Written for my friend Jennifer Reid 
Love, Your Mystic Rose :)
