Mid-sentence they held my attention
eye-catching sparks from an early bright sun
becalmed in a sea of grass
An objet trouvé, one of nature's trinkets
clichéd pendant, charm for bracelets
semblance of wire and Plexiglas
The dragonfly completes its destiny
desiccated old soul of the season
blunt blades a lasting lament
Mid October, and now I remember
those lines of faith drawn in water
such sparks of enlightenment
