Dragonfly

a poem

Photo by Krzysztof Niewolny on Unsplash

a dragonfly came and sat by me the other day at the river

hello said I knowing that there is always a message in nature

I remembered what I had learned about the dragonfly from the indigenous in the Amazon

the dragonfly holds the secret of the universe to creation

the dragonfly encompasses all four elements water earth fire and air

the dragonfly is born in water as a nymph water gives it life

swimming in breathing in water the dragonfly exists

til one day the nymph crawls out of the water onto land

attaches to a plant and sheds its skin

using fire of transformation to transmute into its true form

shedding its skin on the plant stem it now has wings to fly

and becomes master of air

what a glorious critter master of elements water and air the fire of creation transforming

the dragonfly signifies death and rebirth metamorphosis into its true form

symbolizing the cycle of life finding your true self

showing us how to live dying from one form to be reborn another

oh what a life

birth into water emerging onto land and taking flight with the wind

as I listened to my new friend he gently lifted his wings and took off

gliding over the water iridescent in the sun

I heard his message

and now I share

his secret with you

Thank you for reading!
