the greenest dragonfly i have ever seen

landed of the greenest heart shaped leaf

and suddenly, i felt overwhelming loved –

so what if i was emptying the trash at the time,

sorting the recyclables

and dumping the orts into the compost-

it is the dailies that we need reminding the most!

the say the heart is green

not with envy

(we create that with our fear)

but like an emerald

sparkling

spinning,

like the transient transendence of a dragonfly’s wing.

love surrounds us

with every beat

of wing or heart.
