Red Dragonfly III

Alight on ivy’s tendril,

glowing red messenger from God.

“It’s time, my child, it’s time.”

Don’t look on me as a chance visitor.

I’m here to deliver a message

from the soul you’ve held so tightly

in your arms and in your heart.

“It’s time, my child, it’s time.”

I’ll fly away for a moment

and let you collect your thoughts.

Then you’ll realize I’m here for a reason.

Red as cardinal gliding on late summer’s breezes.

But cardinal’s message is for another day.

I’m dragonfly, red dragonfly,

Returning to ivy’s perch and looking on with love.

Once again here to tell you,

“It’s time, dear child, it’s time.”

Study of Red Dragonfly

Alight on ivy’s tendril,

glowing red messenger from God.

“It’s time, my child, it’s time.”

Don’t look on me as a chance visitor.

I’m here to deliver a message

from the soul you’ve held so tightly

in your arms and in your heart.

“It’s time, my child, it’s time.”

I’ll fly away for a moment

and let you collect your thoughts.

Then you’ll realize I’m here for a reason.

Red as cardinal gliding on late summer’s breezes.

But cardinal’s message is for another day.

I’m dragonfly, red dragonfly,

Returning to ivy’s perch and looking on with love.

Once again here to tell you,

“It’s time, dear child, it’s time.”

Red Dragonfy

Alight on ivy’s tendril,

glowing red messenger from God.

“It’s time, my child, it’s time.”

Don’t look on me as a chance visitor.

I’m here to deliver a message

from the soul you’ve held so tightly

in your arms and in your heart.

“It’s time, my child, it’s time.”

I’ll fly away for a moment

and let you collect your thoughts.

Then you’ll realize I’m here for a reason.

Red as cardinal gliding on late summer’s breezes.

But cardinal’s message is for another day.

I’m dragonfly, red dragonfly,

Returning to ivy’s perch and looking on with love.

Once again here to tell you,

“It’s time, dear child, it’s time.”
