Henry's Diary
September 4, 2000
_____________________

When I got up in sunlight's rise,
The morning glowing in my eyes
I stretched and pulled my muscles sore
From sleeping upon rock-like floor!
Ouch!
I picked my knapsack up and stood,
Wondering how far I could
Go and still have a little strength in me
To reach my home, wherever that may be.

The morning makes way for mid-day,
I still press on, feeling okay--
Sometime later I feel so beat;
There's that soreness in my feet!
Ouch!
Humans' shoes I wish I had--
They've got it right! (but scales aren't bad...)
I still didn't stop, though, just pressed on
Way until the day was gone.
_____________________

I stopped someplace to get some sleep
The place I got was kind of cheap,
But that didn't matter 'cause I didn't care,
I just wanted a bed over there.

As I slept, I dreamed and saw
Something put me deep in awe--
Someone following me around,
But whose feet didn't seem to touch the ground!

I felt kind of troubled when I awoke,
The very dry air made me choke—
Good thing there was lots of water nearby,
And a good rising sun in the morning sky.

____________
I set out again on my journey to find
A place to call home, for my heart and mind;
While I walked I got the feeling
Someone was following me, concealing
His or her whole body and face…
When I looked all around me, I saw only space.

-End of entry

I watched the poor dragon going along
His homeward path, seeming strong.
I only show myself to some,
And to this dragon I had come,
This I say to you is true—
I’m looking for my own home, too.

Thanks everyone!   I actually got this whole thing from a chain of dreams I've been having...I know it sounds weird, but it's like watching a TV show, one dream after another in perfect chronological order...lol   The things I 'dream up'!  

Hope Henry gives me some more inspiration tonight (you guys have supplied the rest!  )
You're all great people (or dragons, if any of you happen to have horns, wings, and a tail)

*gets kinda red*   lol thanks dg!   There's only one other one (September 3, not to mention Darkness) so far, but I'm still waiting for Henry to let me read his entry for September 5 (and maybe I'll get Kharóshi's entry too, if I'm lucky!)  

Thanks for reading!!
