Dragonfly's Reunion edit 2

Dragonfly’s Reunion

A sea of once familiar faces merge
as she attempts to ride the rolling wave
of memories that flick the air and land
for just a moment. Spindly legs that skim
the surface fold and quickly bounce  to skip
away beyond her view, a glimmer caught,
the sparkle of a prismed wing that flies
a path across the sun to disappear.
Evaporated in the glare of beams
that spread the funneled spotlight's glow
that should illuminate, instead they blind
her now, no difference between what lives
and what became the blur of what just is.


(All critiques, mild through intensive, gratefully encouraged.)

Hey,
I thoroughly enjoyed this.  I think it reads well and you have several great enjambments, particularly ....air and land/for just....  I am not 100% sure what is going on, but I interpret it as someone at a family reunion metaphored into the flight of a dragonfly almost like a dream sequence.  Either way it is fun to read and has lots of nice language.  One weakness is an over use of filler words, such as that, and, etc.  Particularly near the end where two adjacent lines begin with 'that'.  I think with some thought of how to use surrounding verbs better could let you remove many of them without ruining your meter.  Finally, I like the slant rhyme between lives and is in the last two lines, but I wanted the last line to end with 'was'.  
Thanks for the read,
Bryn

Thanks so much for reading and for your generous comments. I'll certainly go over it and try to minimize the filler words, I've found myself sacrificing more complex words when I'm unsure if they fit the meter, not a good habit to develop. I'm hoping to find a way to edit for more clarity, really appreciate your view.
