One Fluttering and Full Beast
Nature's Lesson on Love
I’ll meet you there,
under the setting sun,
where fiery splashes of light
melt into shades of deep purple -
day and night are blurred.
- - - - -
I’ll meet you there
in the place swallows
and dragonflies dance
to the tempo of Mother Nature's
hidden, yet irresistible cries.
- - - - -
I’ll meet you where
they weave in and out
and around,
graze and escape,
fall into and away from each other.
- - - - -
I’ll meet you where
the most magically macabre
tango takes place -
unrehearsed and skillful,
set against the tapestry of twilight.
- - - - -
The finale? Frenzied flight will leave
only one fluttering and full beast.
Promise you’ll meet me there.
You be the swallow.
I’ll be the dragonfly.
