Two Dragonflies Quotes

“Couple starts fire for evening
along the shore on the sand
find dreams of lake horizon
memories of dune

Sleep all night out in warm rain
to learn love out on this beach
gear from the day all folded
dusty shrine of plank

The sun past the wave
calm morning creeps in as cold
swirling in tangle of weed
washed upon the shore

He pushes through morning bush
she allows the ocean wave
they roll slowly to the tide
this youthful couple

Folded within their feeling
the soft serpent curl of tide
the dark roar of the high beach
where ocean’s lips touch

On rock where lizard sunbaths
sand rests between fern and weed
massive silver wave breaks through
she swims he watches”
― Jamie Lee Hamann, Two Dragonflies
