                                                          landed
                                                                       on my steady hand
There it remained for several
                                                    minutes

                        gently reminding me to be

Loved one comes from spiritual realm
                says live your life with
                     joy and light
Listen: life is fast and fleeting
                live each day like it
                      were your last

Dearly beloved dragonfly
                dutifully draws quadruple
dynamically designed wings
               darts                            dizzyingly
                                                                         disappears
