In motion, it measures motion—
wingbeats, shadows, the slight wrongness
of something closing in.
Eyes like a net of light
cast in all directions.

Flame Skimmer Dragonfly At Sweetwater Wetlands — Image by kenne
A flame skimmer rests,
perched on a dead branch,
its body a streak of fire
against the soft green reeds
of Sweetwater Wetlands.
The pond lies quiet,
ripples folding into reeds,
while wings of copper glass
catch the sun’s edge—
a sudden brilliance,
then stillness again,
as if the dragonfly
were holding the day
in its fragile grip.

weeds grow
where water
no longer flows
gently over
the canyon spillway…
marsh
of cracked soil
a dragonfly
passes over
remembering
what was
desert natal waters…
leaving behind
dark shadows
moved by
hot desert winds…

“The beauteous dragonfly’s dancing
By the waves of the rivulet glancing;
She dances here, and she dances there,
The glimmering, glittering flutterer fair.”
— Heinrich Heine

As I age, balance becomes
more of a challenge
increasing my admiration for
dragonflies, their ability
to stay perched
on the end of a reed.

Warming in the sun
On this chilly spring morning
Life on a new day.

May you touch dragonflies and stars, dance with fairies, and speak to the moon.

What’s this dragonfly doing?
Looks like another insect has been caught in a web,
which has got his attention.
I’m not that much of an insect expert.

He stands at the top
Just waiting for the moment
To leave in the wind.
