Dragonfly personification
-
Scared to show my true
colors
-
Once I opened my eyes, I
could see things people just don’t usually see when analyzing
o
Ultra-vision
-
My whole life, I was
afraid to fly away from shallow water, in fear of drowning, but now I feel like
I can cross oceans
-
I had the wings to fly,
but never realized its strength
-
Realizing how to use the
declarative knowledge that dwelled within my mind, and the explanation that
laid beneath in my heart
-
Instead of hubris, I was
lost and blind with false fear that I refused to open my eyes or leave the
shallow water that dwelled beneath my trembling feet; a savior opened my eyes
and taught me how to fly… and what it really means to be a dragonfly.
-
A dragonfly’s life is a
short one, but this one shall not be forgotten.
