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.”

Toucan too

Toucan too

Love the colors in this fellow and his wild yet peaceful countenance. I'm also intrigued by the animal message he delivers in light of the news of the day that the company I work for will soon be facing another round of layoffs.   The toucan represents communication and showmanship. The toucan's colorful appearance and large bill indicates a strong desire to be seen and heard. When the toucan appears as a totem it is likely time for you to step forward out of the shadows and stand in the lime light for awhile. If you have difficulty speaking in public toucan medicine can help clear and heal throat chakra blockages. The toucan may appear whenever you are craving attention, helping you to sort out why you are feeling this way. Toucan can boost your self-esteem. Toucan carries the energy of the class-clown with its antics and loud noises. If you have a clowning personality that you use to cloak insecurities, the toucan totem is mirroring your behavior to show you that it is safe to take off the mask and reveal your true self. http://healing.about.com/od/animaltotems/ig/Animal-Totems-Photo-Gallery/Toucan.htm Connotes Paradise and Peace Toucans can symbolize blooming partnership/companionship. It could also refer to relaxation and peace. It lends importance to teamwork and family and is a warning of impending death. http://www.buzzle.com/articles/bird-symbolism-and-their-meanings.html#I-http%253A%252F%252Fwww.buzzle.com%252Farticles%252Fbird-symbolism-and-their-meanings.html%2F1100578784%2F1
