Dragonflies Dance

by June Sargent

beautiful butterflies are bountiful

gracing garden with

glamorous

gold



dragonflies dive among dandelions

busy bees buzz by

bright blooming

bush



guardian in a grassy galaxy

dragonfly's defense

dizzying

dance

a lonesome lion leads me to the lamp

let last light linger

seek solid standing
soon sacred
