 black as the moonless night silent in dreamless sleep I rise my sleepy head my hunger makes me weep drawn to here from unknown a place frequently lost my weatheredly scaled skin defeating nights cold frost I bathe in burning stars I pillage, I plunder thy fathers heritage puts me six feet under ... I, Onyx, the dragon must face even my fears the forgotten hunger hidden all these years ... such, is the light of day and visions of true love both make me run and hide soaring the heavens above but time now grows weary from lies of distant past this dragonhearted lore may never really last ... before stars find sleep and my eyes face the dawn I hope to share my dreams ... before I must be gone A word in hand is worth two in a hush ...

"I, Onyx, the dragon must face even my fears the forgotten hunger hidden all these years ..." and a sleeping dragon awakens.  I loved the metaphor and mystical quality here, and in fact, it reminded me a bit of a favorite quote: "Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons for you are crunchy and good with ketchup." (cute, huh?) Onyx is used quite often as a scrying mirror (as well as a metaphor for death too--that whole tombstone thang) so nod, I took the metaphor and ran with it, and enjoyed the jog. Nice write ct. |

the image of the Dragon in the pic is dreamy .... a stir of clouds and light, night and day. Some say dragons were just imagination ... but isn't that our dreams as well? Thank you all for your read, and sharing my dreams! CT A word in hand is worth two in a hush ... CTOwen/05 |
