Tiny dragonflies,
With water-colored wings
Of amber stripe,
Land each on their own
Frond leaf,
At the dry, nethermost tip.
Far from the heart of palm,
Sap source.
Head down, intent,
They dine?
Or drink morning dew from
A bowl of husky fiber?
Anyway,
They know what they are doing.
And I wonder –
Water, or sugar, in unexpected places.
Unexpected to me, image-bearer and
Very good,
But not unexpected to an artless
Creature of the air.
Faith lands on a husk and finds
Water.
Faith is a husk dispensing
Sugar.
Dragon flies and dry fronds
Simply declare that
Sugar water is true and
Can be expected.
