Dragonfly Bokeh

photographed at Ladew Gardens Maryland

 

what delicate lives we lead,

as fragile and royal as a dragonfly

stroking a flower petal,

as intricate as the wings

we do not notice

until she becomes still

 

in a moment

life

in another moment

death

slices eternity in two

the way her tail slices the wind
