Surrendering to blackness

  Summer feels like autumn

 Dried leaves rain down sadness

They never reach the bottom

To and fro above my head

Shimmering wings accompany my sorrow

Hello dragonfly, I feel the happiness you spread

Healing me like Achilles healed with yarrow

When missing you persists

Night passes, and peace greets me

I’m reminded your presence still exists

Resting on the rosemary, it’s you I see

I’m afraid I’ll never see another dragonfly

Then brilliant blue appears; we’ll never say goodbye
