Nature Worship

Little flight of whimsy
Darting through space
Dragonfly, oh dragonfly
Show your true face.

With wings made of sunbeams
You sparkle and shimmer
Tell me your secret
Are you a skimmer?

Burnt coals and embers
Abide in your eyes
You conquer the hornet
An attack by surprise.

You murder the hapless
Who encroach on your rule
Without enmity or venom
For you're a living jewel.
