“Clouds of insects danced and buzzed in the golden autumn light, and the air was full of the piping of the song-birds. Long, glinting dragonflies shot across the path, or hung tremulous with gauzy wings and gleaming bodies.”

Once, in a little pond, in the muddy water under the lily pads, there lived a little water beetle in a community of water beetles. They lived a simple and comfortable life in the pond with few disturbances and interruptions. Once in a while, sadness would come to the community when one of their fellow beetles would climb the stem of a lily pad and would never be seen again. They knew when this happened; their friend was dead, gone forever.
Then, one day, one little water beetle felt an irresistible urge to climb up that stem. However, he was determined that he would not leave forever. He would come back and tell his friends what he had found at the top. When he reached the top and climbed out of the water onto the surface of the lily pad, he was so tired, and the sun felt so warm, that he decided he must take a nap. As he slept, his body changed and when he woke up, he had turned into a beautiful blue-tailed dragonfly with broad wings and a slender body designed for flying.
So, fly he did! And, as he soared he saw the beauty of a whole new world and a far superior way of life to what he had never known existed. Then he remembered his beetle friends and how they were thinking by now he was dead. He wanted to go back to tell them, and explain to them that he was now more alive than he had ever been before. His life had been fulfilled rather than ended. But, his new body would not go down into the water. He could not get back to tell his friends the good news. Then he understood that their time would come, when they, too, would know what he now knew. So, he raised his wings and flew off into his joyous new life!

Your delicate wings rapidly beat the airThe sleekness of your weightless body hoversCuriously observing as though you careSteadily searching for lifelong endeavorsDo you bring a message of a tranquil destiny?Does your evolving maturity convey wisdom?If I follow, will I find harmony or perplexity?As you disappear… I am serenely lonesome

Dragonfly, dragonfly,Please don't pass me byWait with me a little whileWhilst I look, wonder and smileYou, my poetic inspirationMaybe even for Da Vinci's inventionDid you teach the planes to fly?You lovely, lovely dragonfly.I can see you poised and stillOn the leaf, and thus untilBlazes the kind summer sunUntil coldest winter has begun.Branch,pond, flower and breeze,Wait a while with me now please;We shared the silence, but nowYou've flown onto another bough.

Your hands lie open in the long fresh grass,The finger-points look through like rosy blooms:Your eyes smile peace. The pasture gleams and glooms'Neath billowing skies that scatter and amass.All round our nest, far as the eye can pass,Are golden kingcup-fields with silver edgeWhere the cow-parsley skirts the hawthorn-hedge.'Tis visible silence, still as the hour-glass.Deep in the sun-searched growths the dragon-flyHangs like a blue thread loosened from the sky:So this wing'd hour is dropt to us from above.Oh! clasp we to our hearts, for deathless dower,This close-companioned inarticulate hourWhen twofold silence was the song of love.

White Daisy Earrings
“Find a guy who calls you beautiful instead of hot, who calls you back when you hang up on him, who will lie under the stars and listen to your heartbeat, or will stay awake just to watch you sleep... wait for the boy who kisses your forehead, who wants to show you off to the world when you are in sweats, who holds your hand in front of his friends, who thinks you're just as pretty without makeup on. One who is constantly reminding you of how much he cares and how lucky his is to have you.... The one who turns to his friends and says, 'that's her."
“The love that lasts the longest is the love that is never returned.” ~William Somerset Maugham
“I don't pretend to know what love is for everyone, but I can tell you what it is for me; love is knowing all about someone, and still wanting to be with them more than any other person, love is trusting them enough to tell them everything about yourself, including the things you might be ashamed of, love is feeling comfortable and safe with someone, but still getting weak knees when they walk into a room and smile at you.”
Pink Flower Garden
“One of the hardest things in life is watching the person you love, love someone else.”
“If you love somebody, let them go. If they return, they were always yours. If they don't, they never were.”
“One of the hardest things in life is having words in your heart that you can't utter.” ~James Earl Jones
The Rose Garden Phone Charm
“Love is just a word until someone comes along and gives it meaning.”
“Every man is afraid of something. That's how you know he's in love with you; when he is afraid of losing you.”
“There are four questions of value in life... What is sacred? Of what is the spirit made? What is worth living for, and what is worth dying for? The answer to each is the same. Only love.”
“It takes a minute to have a crush on someone, an hour to like someone and a day to love someone - but it takes a lifetime to forget someone.”
Princess Collection Bracelet
“To the world you may be just one person, but to one person you may be the world.”
“Love is saying 'I feel differently' instead of 'You're wrong.'”
“True Love burns the brightest, But the brightest flames leave the deepest scars.”
“We say we love flowers, yet we pluck them. We say we love trees, yet we cut them down. And people still wonder why some are afraid when told they are loved.”
Amethyst & Swarovski Ring
“I love you not because of who you are, but because of who I am when I am with you.”
“It hurts to love someone and not be loved in return, but what is the most painful is to love someone and never find the courage to let the person know how you feel.”
“No man is worth your tears, but once you find one that is, he won't make you cry.”
“Love is the condition in which the happiness of another person is essential to your own.” ~Robert Heinlein
Calcite & Crystal Butterfly Bookmark
“Love doesn't make the world go 'round. Love is what makes the ride worthwhile.” ~Franklin P. Jones
“Love is what makes two people sit in the middle of a bench when there is plenty of room at both ends.”
“Love is of all passions the strongest, for it attacks simultaneously the head, the heart and the senses.” ~Lao Tzu
“Love is much like a wild rose, beautiful and calm, but willing to draw blood in its defense.” ~Mark Overby
“People love others not for who they are but for how they make them feel.”
Lampwork & Ice Glass Earrings
“Love isn't finding a perfect person. It's seeing an imperfect person perfectly.”
“To love someone is nothing, to be loved by someone is something, but to be loved by the one you love is everything.”
“Love is the harmony of two souls singing together.”
“We came together underneath the stars above. What started out as liking soon developed into love. I sense a certain something that, in my heart, felt so true that I knew I waited all my life to fall in love with you.”
Lampwork Glass Earrings
“Love is missing someone whenever you're apart, but somehow feeling warm inside because you're close in heart.”
“Pure love is a willingness to give without a thought of receiving anything in return.”
“Immature love says: 'I love you because I need you.' Mature love says: 'I need you because I love you.'”
“Love is just a word, a label; real love is unexplainable.”
“We loved with a love that was more than love.” ~Edgar Allan Poe
"Intertwined" Earrings
“May the love hidden deep inside your heart find the love waiting in your dreams. May the laughter that you find in your tomorrow wipe away the pain you find in your yesterdays.”
“The quickest way to receive love is to give; the fastest way to lose love is to hold it too tightly; and the best way to keep love is to give it wings.”
