Dragon Cycle 5: Death and waking

Fire sweeping over the land,

destruction and death,

the dragons are free.

-

Hate and fury in the village,

wings bring storm

and burning hail.

-

The fire burns the woman,

burns the man,

the dragon nears the child.

-

Eyes of fury meet the fear,

nostrils taste

the anguish of the child.

-

Fire builds deep in the guts,

leaps from teeth,

and stops down dead.

-

A cry meets dragons fury

"Leave my sister!"

The dragon stops.

-

From rags beneath the window board

a child rises

and stares the dragon down.

-

Fingers grow to dragon claws,

Teeth grow sharper, skin goes black,

fire burns the clothes. A dragon returns.

-

A voice of power, voice of War,

"We will not fight,

Not anymore!"

-

Bows then down to the childs big eyes,

Hot breath on her face,

quietly speaks:

"On my back you ride today,

we shall from now together stay,

and fly the winds as one."
