The dragonfly danced on guilded wing
Against the twilight sky as the sun dipped low.
Above our heads, he flittered high
As we watched in awe, from down below.
He came to say a last goodbye
But also just to say hello
As the sky grew dusk on that painted day
To the heavens gate he soon would go.
To the music he danced above us high
To delight us in our sorrow
The dragonfly gracefully called our names
One last time, before he’d go.
A year in time, he danced once more,
To the cherished glee of a wedding day.
He danced just to let us know
He was with us still on the sun’s golden ray.
To the bride he had come on her special day
To wish her well in wedded bliss.
The dragonfly danced, with us once more
Then he flew up to the sky,
With one last kiss.
