A fairy and a dragon
walked one day hand in hand
and thought to join their energies
just one more time around
and this beyond description
by those who do not know
‘twas just the weak and strong
seeking a sense of balance.

This was done and nothing much
came forth to change the world
so the fairy and the dragon
reverted back to form.

And the fairy still today
flits and titivates
and drops her magic fairy dust
like all messages of love
that blow away and disappear
into the ether or the earth.

The dragon in withdrawal
slumps within a thought
on his throne of manly things to do
that like a cage confines his flames
where they can do no good.

So of fairies, dragons, magic dust,
ask a prophet for the future,
the sages for a meaning,
but ask me and I will tell you …
there’s no meaning to the future
once reverted back to form.

"...seeking a sense of balance..."

The yin and yang of life.

Beautiful!

Oh this sort of made me chuckle as I divorced someone just like this...

The dragon in withdrawal
slumps within a thought
on his throne of manly things to do
that like a cage confines his flames
where they can do no good.

Balance is definitely good.

Me too, Mysteria, but I reckon it was because I felt what the thoughts were or what they weren't. A slump isn't a bad thing but perhaps rather the feeling we get from the thoughts that causes a bad reaction. We don't know that initially though.

Thank you for reading.

Was it a mismatch from the start? Who knows where the magic goes when the fairy and dragon give up on the dream? Maybe if the dust had contained some glue....?
An interesting write, Helen!

No, Kacy, I don't think it was a mismatch at all but that didn't alter the result. I think a dragon and a fairy can complement each other pretty well but then again I perhaps see what others don't - yeah, in "them there" dreams!

Thanks so much for reading.

A very cute poem dear Helen but I do think that fairy was taking a big risk. Enjoyed the post. Love

Dear Helen, this is an extremely captivating write. When the fairy is aware that the dragon is her and viceversa, then it works, but usually we think we are separate. And by fighting the other we fight ourselves.

Future? Don't close totally to all the possibilities ...

Love and hugs.

Thanks so much, everyone, for your comments - and Margherita, yes, the fairy is aware but dragons are dragons spitting fire and ire when slumped in thought and not deed.

Hugs

Wow.

This does what good fairytales should do--

Take the truth and make it easy on the mind in symbolist form.

I adore this, Helen.
