The Mystical Dragonfly
New beginnings with empathy and prosperity
Oh, magical, mystical dragonfly once believed to be a dragon, Who turned into a dragonfly and couldn’t go back, Hence the winged creature with its speckled body, Colored in shades of blue, red, and yellow, It reminds us that the world is a place of illusion.
Like a rainbow, they can be purple and gold, With wings so intricate — there is no match, That’s why they tell you to make a wish, The dragonfly, they say, brings tidings of rain and good luck.
When you spot the magical dragonfly, Take a second to revel in its mysterious beauty, This creature which has traveled all the lands, reminder of the strength and happiness you can possess.
Be brave like the dragonfly who saved Emperor Tenvo, Be a sign of success and glory for everyone, Whose path you cross, For how whimsical it is to be both terror and joy,
A fairy’s light and a dragon’s power, Come together to make the dragonfly.
Seize the moment.
