Luminous iridescent wings beating fast
Flying so quickly she bumped her head badly
One moment she was breathing
The next moment she was not
Spontaneously and magically, though stunned
This dazzling dragonfly began her transformation
From complex cells to a community of colonies
A Portuguese Man O’War
Floating on the ocean, wafted by winds
Though gelatinous, still in charge of her kingdom
Part of her community hunted, some gathered
Some digested the nourishment, building strength
Within currents of water, transitioning into
A dragon different than a fly, her sails
Captured wind currents, gliding her along to
An unknown destination
So special, she graced the world with her beauty
Her joy, her deep caring for others, delighting
Children, elders, and all beings on this earth from
Shore to sky to the waters deep
During her metamorphosis, she floated tenderly on
The warming waters of my soul, gazing at
Boats, seagulls, fish, rays, coral and sea fans, all
Dipping into the eternal waters of this life on Mother Earth
Surrendering, she let go, released any and
All struggles, pausing for a moment
Saying goodbye to this life
Then moving on to the next, in time and space
Enjoying the stars, moons, the sun, and
All energetic beings everywhere
Pure peace
