Time fades to nowhere As the day slips quickly away Late Summer night's air Drifts over the silent still bay. On the rocks, a young child sits, Wings of a dragonfly he will trace. The light gradually flickers and dims A frown forms on the boy's face. The toad bellows his sad cries But the dragonfly loses the battle Nature's Mom hears all the lies And life crumbles from being fragile. For these days will soon be dead How the story always goes. The moon and stars hang overhead Drooping and casting shadows. Another life has been notched As the nights and days die, Just like the boy has watched The final flaps of the dragonfly. ~ #dragonfly #insect #wingedbeauty #DancingOnWater #summer #LastDaysOfSummer #Nature #Sunset #Endofday #🌅 #dusk #NearTheLake #NewSalem #QuabbinReservoir #Massachusetts #PoemOfTheDay #poetry #📝📆 #PictureOfTheDay #PhotoOfTheDay #📷📆 #CTSelf (at New Salem, Massachusetts) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFUh964B-IW/?igshid=102jrf4bbpup2
