Flight of Dragon Quest Karen Torbiak 2000 My friend come share my fantasy and soar with me to yonder rock of majestic mountain peak where magic still lives for us to see with bold heart the dragon we would seek Take my hand my friend and I will lead to fantasy’s world filled with mysteries where flight over mountains on our mystical steed will give us better knowledge of this world’s histories Let us find the caves there hidden still where eyes that have seen a thousand lifetimes glitter there rests the dragon once they’ve had their fill of knowledge from man that has left them bitter Together let us seek the magic of life from the wise for they have flown the lengths of all these lands where they have seen how man has fallen from his lies from shore to shore they’ve watched us travel over sands There, high up is a ledge from which the creature flies and here a path well trod to take us there as we climb high we know these creatures own the skies so with careful steps we approach the cave his lair We ask a boon of thee oh Dragon of mystic might it is known to us that to you man is no friend but bold we come to you to ask that we share dragon flight and then from mountain's magic we will descend The dragon’s eyes took light to pierce our very souls with snake like head he trapped us in his lair he grinned at us with teeth the size of sharpened polls with opened mouths we froze and could only stare To our amazement he spoke with human voice “True friends your hearts reveal come to me to seek the flight of dragon forgotten by man by choice so this gift I give to bold friends with whom I speak” With no other word he went to ledge this wondrous beast his winds laid back as eagles would against his side the floor around him was littered with bones of recent feast there was room for two between the rows of spikes placed so we would not slide We mounted the dragon and placed ourselves upon his back with softest step he moved toward the light where much to our surprise saw his color was deepest black then spread his wings with ease soared off the cliff in flight He beat his wings with power to take us high above the mountains and through the clouds we did go then straight ahead over earth and ocean did we fly holding tight this flight of dragon was not slow Around the earth he took us in space of day seeing war and strife by man everywhere we went when flight was done we begged that we could stay with sadness in his eyes he said we were of earth so away we were sent Now though we dare not speak of this to man our hearts were joined as friends on Dragon Quest we whisper of the thrill of flight when ever we can and though questioned where we were none would ever guess Love I leave with you my friend whether it be in your life or of yet the essense of your dreams.
