Dragonfly

How beautiful she writes and quick

her glassy flight in colour

the delicate damsel on the water

in blue and green she glides

with black and yellow stripes

out of the corner of my eyes

trough a cloud

side by side

of buzzing mosquitoes

with a criss-cross back and forth

she underlines their ballet

but just a moment

in the air she stays

a tinted display

a moment of gravity away

next she whirls no less

on a dance

in the arms of the wind again.
