W3 – transformation

a visitor in my garden
wings of transformation
hidden beneath the mystery
a message from faraway
or close by
its beauty is softness
letting go of the weight
opening up to the possibilities
immersed in lavender scent
reminds me of calm
no hurry
the time will arrive
you will find the truth

My garden is blooming with flowers and butterflies, from time to time a dragonfly shows up, and I like to believe it has a message for me.

“The Dragonfly has been a symbol of happiness, new beginnings and change for many centuries.  The Dragonfly means hope, change, and love.” You can find more about it here.

W3 prompt this week is “Write about the first wild creature that you see which inspires you on the day you write your poem.”

  5. The dragonfly is all those things. So beautiful you had such a visit. I had a similar visit on my lavender today too, and without my phone in hand, marveled at it for many seconds. Thanks so much. This is lovely.

  10. This beautiful poem leaves me feeling tranquil.

    “Immersed in lavender scent / reminds me of calm” I so love these lines. They transport me to your garden and the enviable sighting of the dragonfly.
    I’ve never seen one with wings like that before. (Wonderful photo, btw.👌).
    “hidden beneath the mystery / a message from faraway” brings a gentle tear to my eye.

    I love this wondrous poem that shows a strong connection with nature 💜

    1. Thanks, Lesley! Your prompt is wonderful, we learn so much with nature, it’s up to us to stop and observe all the gifts nature has available for us. I’m very happy my poem has spoken to you. 🙂

  13. Yes, Nature takes her time, and we should too! I am lucky that dragonflies are common where I live. Many of the ones I see are black, with bright blue markings; they seem to be attracted by similar colors on my boat when I row with my husband. 🙂

    1. Thanks so much! I took this photo with my Nikon, I thought it was worth to use it instead the phone. Dragonflies are rare here too, so I can’t miss the opportunity of a beautiful pic! 🙂
