Rewrite Dragons Shadow In each of us a dragon lies And lives with us until we die It may be called another name But it is one and the same Some times it’s called the left hand Or the short hand of the longhand Whatever called familiar or rare It is Beelzebub that is there And its hand and hand you go Through greenery and snow Over hill and dale both wind and gale Each female and the male The journey may be short or long It may be merry or sad the song But either way it’s you I say That makes the journey and the way We all have this dragon bye the bye Look in your mirror deep in your eye See Jekyll and Hyde side by side For that is where, its shadow hides And when you see it just say, hi friend For it will be with you, till your end |

I confess I read this a little distracted--the very idea of your dragon being mighty enough to cast a shadow intrigued me.  (Isobel can prolly whup me, so I'm gonna shaddup.) Speaking of spouses, did I ever tell you my husband's name is George? MmmHmmm. Yep. Like the dragonslayer!  quick kiss  and I'm outta here!gawd I love ya sy, and as for demons and dragons and dark creepies, kill 'em with laughter, I say! |

Good morning, Sir Tumbleweed ~ I like the strength ~ and the feistiness! ~ of your inner dragon. There is an iron hand in your velvet glove, Dear Gentleman.  I am both the moon and the sun. ~ The yin and the yang. I believe that it is our duality that rounds out our picture ~ or rather, our bust. ~ or should I say, "sculpture"?!?   EA  |

The journey may be short or long It may be merry or sad the song But either way it’s you I say That makes the journey and the way Amen, dear friend... amen... however much I'd like to cast blame elsewhere. *G* Excellent write!! |

quote: Yes we have that kind of constant companion ... the dragon loves to be given attention at certain times, but we have the power to put it to rest too. Powerful write, dear Seymour. Love and hugs. Margherita |

Good to remember this. If one covers one half of their face with a piece of paper and compares it to the other side, they will find two different beings in the mirror. Enjoyed |

My favorite Chinese proverb is "The fourth dragon holds the pearl of wisdom". So take it from a guy who was born in the year of the dragon (me), this is a great poem, I really enjoyed it. Keep up the fantastic writing. - Ed Grim |
