The Dragonfly Queen

The Dragonfly Queen

By Paul McCann

Once in an enchanted time ,

between somewhere and nowhere ,

there was  a garden

where dragonflies flew .

In between blossom trees

and all around all the flowers , 

carrying the wishes

that often came true .

The dragonfly queen ,

lived in a castle near a stream ,

watching horses chasing shadows

in the sun .

Over the old bridge

and down memory lane  ,

she saw many people

with their picnic baskets come .

Seldom seen is the dragonfly queen ,

 for she dreams all day

in her mystical garden

where time stands still .

They have looked high and low ,

and they’ve gone here and there ,

but the dragonfly queen

she is over the hill .

Oh where  has she gone now the people say ,

but nobody knows , where all the fairy trees grow  these days .

The dragonfly queen ,

she still flies through our dreams ,

between  somewhere and nowhere .  granting wishes always .
