Your
personality for centuries…
eons
of time
have
confused many
in
between choosing a side.
Are
you the terror unleashed
from
the
thrones
of the sky
Or
are
you the friend of the broken
using
your wings
to
protect the persons
for
whom you have true affection?
You
met me as a child
days
not so long a go
you
approached me softly
your
mannerisms mild
and
golden eyes aglow;
you
were
attentive
to the
words
I had to say
then
patiently waited
till
I felt brave enough
to
climb onto your
scaly
fortress,
and
then we flew away.
I
have never forgotten that night
when
they appeared
with
their bows, arrows
axes
and spears
You
hid me behind your rock
as
they launched their attack
their
leader meaning
to
sacrifice my flesh to
win
his crown back.
You
never once cowered
under
their blows,
then
you opened your mouth
and
let out a cry, deep and low
that
compelled
lightning
to
light up the skies
and
out poured flames of anger
heat
flushing my face
soon
after, I saw …
only
their ashes remained.
Years
later you are by my side
helping
me lead a rebellion
against
the same tyrants
that
had wished me
forgotten.
This
time things are different,
the
child’s heart now sees
with
the eyes of a strong man
who
has pieced himself together
through
past defeats
have
converted themselves
into
acts of redemption
And
you remain…
forever in my background
keeping
my paths lit
swooping
in for the rescue
If
per chance my journey runs amiss
How
grateful I am to watch
you
glide above my head;
always
quiet, sincere
never
leaving me alone
.Dragon.
Or
angel?
No
one will ever know.
But
your fiery breath has become
safest
place that I’ve ever known.
