Let us stay with you now
Throw our arms around you
Hasten to your heartbeat
……………………………………………………………………
Looking from the bridge, I see
Ribbons of dreams
Fluttering in the wind
Hundreds of bright dragonflies
Beneath the canopy of trees
Circling above the stream
Between stones & rocks
In sun & shade
I look again, my eyes tease out
A dozen figures
Blending with the rocky floor
As water rushes in between
I see balanced stones & rocks
On one another
Now a family of tall creatures
Mother, father, uncle
Sister, cousin, friends and lovers
A garrulous family gathering
Taking care of me
