Hurled into the corner
like a rag doll,
used and lifeless
dragged through event after event
time after time.
Left to fester from a broken heart,
No hope, no sense to it all
Why would someone leave her to die?
A faint wind feathered her face as her eyes opened and
slowly lifted her rag doll frame,
on her feet again she stretches
her hand to touch the magic
Flying now above her past
she uses his wings to become free
and the wind beneath her to soar
onward into the path of the light
The touch of her Dragonfly
burning a path of passion,
arousal and love.
Sharing not using
living not dying
Sparkling rivers flow
from joy, not hurt
alive at last,
forever flying with her Dragonfly.

Love once again has tranformed the huddled masses and like magic, hearts are soaring once again on gossamer wings...

The verse itself transforms from darkest shadows
where broken hope huddles to brilliant skies
and wings of dragonflies. Wonderful to feel the
emotion in this one. Blue

Delicate symbolism is beautiful
2nd stanza is a bit confusing to me. Should the "and" begin the second line? The "faint wind feathered her face" is a superb line and I wish you could paint it in the most delicate water color ever.
I will imagine that with each read.
