The Dragonfly

The Dragonfly

A Poem by Ty
"

The Dragonfly.

"
Frequency is measured between a wave,
Over interval distances,
I'd measured the world the same,
The space between these words in sentences.
Fractions or division,
My equilibrium,
Half,
The Equinox
Equal in deeper meaning,
Seasons,
Believed I'd leave change,
Or broaden your perspective.
And if I handed you a brush,
What would you paint?
What is your message?
I've seen Ospreys over high seas
And a Falu and Amaranth Red Dragonfly,
Teetering on the brink of war and solace,
So long as the motive benefited no one,
In the moment,
It seemed Dandelions and daydreams descended from outer space,
Aligned with out of date debris
And fog from past storms,
That latched on
Lashed forward into the future
Confucius mirrors
Only to awaken amazed
Gazed staring at self,
Us,
The Dragonfly
Demonstrates,
Capable of hovering above turmoil and everything else
Illustrated politics in paintings
Canvases
Priorities and portraits
The Garden of Earthly Delights
Confusion and hazy
Alone underneath
Inside
My heart aspires for reach
In hopes your portion's painted in escape and peace.

Definitely appreciate you dropping in, Remi. Really, thanks!
Your algorithm to measure the world is brilliant and quite poetic my friend. The image is amazing. Soaring words, metaphors, rhythm and flow like a dragonfly's beating wings. "The dragonfly demonstrates, capable of hovering above turmoil and everything else"..." My heart aspires for reach"...as does mine. Great!
