Mayfly Flew Over

I had an encounter with a white mayfly on the night I was walking down the street of Manhattan. That experience alone inspired me to write this poem the same night, and here it goes...

Mayfly Flew Over


 


A mayfly flew over.


Perched on my finger.


Three seconds you make me wonder.


 


Off you go as I wander.


Your days may go on no further.


Farewell – and I bid thanks for coming over.


 


On the night I saw you yonder.


Wish you got me closer.


For in three days I’d see you no longer.


 


You need not to cry on my shoulder.


Even as I’m feeling walked all over.


Your calm is the beauty you render.


 


Your white membranous wings shimmer.


Your soul makes me feel tender.


Thus you gave me such healing power!

spiritually, i believe the mayfly symbolically suggested that in a fleeting moment, one can experience the source of wonder and enchantment no matter where one is located or what the source may be ... a mayfly is somewhat unusual to observe in manhattan ... nice ambiance and imagery in your poem ...

keep alive with positive vibes,

it's a very sweet poem
mayfly has a short life
this may remind us that we are also vulnerable
no matter what, the end could be closer than we think

From what I remember the mayfly is an insect, that is a good omen.One connected with spiritual matters.
I enjoyed this poem ,it is unique and well written.

Do you know what kind of omen a mayfly is? Or does this experience signify need for change, the moment of self-realization, token for revelation, or certain effect of spiritual healing? Tell me what you think (or how you feel)!

To be in touch with nature is to be in touch with all healing possibilities as you have shown in this write.

You Look FatCalgary by RickthePoetWarrior

Using Calgary as a backdrop the author satirizes the self-serving nature of the public as it continues to fatten itself, not only physically, but egotistically as well.
