Damselfly darting

A flittering shadow

In the reeds

 

Its delicate wings

cracked glass reflecting

In moonlight

 

Its brief lifespan

Stolen from the pond.

 

Damselfly embodies Nature,

dances with borrowed power

Spiralling towards entropy

Into the Eternal Maw

 

Before Returning at last

That power so ineffable

 

The dance ceases.
