The Frog and the Dragonfly
In a realm where whispers dance with the breeze, A frog croaked tales beneath the emerald trees. Its eyes, like glistening orbs, caught the light, Reflecting dreams of day, secrets of night. Along came a dragonfly, wings ablaze, Gliding over waters, a living haze. With a ballet of iridescence and grace, It hovered above, in a serene embrace. "O wise frog," the dragonfly hummed in flight, "Share with me the wisdom of moonlit night." The frog, with a voice deep and reverberate, Spoke of time's flow, and of love, and of fate. "See, little flyer, how the ripples spread wide, From a single leap, in the pond's deep tide. So does each action in the vastness of life, Create waves of change, in joy and in strife." The dragonfly danced to the rhythm of words, In awe of the wisdom it had just heard. And as the sun dipped in the lavender sky, Their souls whispered secrets where water meets eye. In the hush of the evening, serene and shy, The frog and the dragonfly bid goodbye. With a promise to meet when the moon is high, In the realm where earth's heartbeats never die.
Here is the recitation of the poem.
