DRAGONS
inside the universal streamcultural reflections
of reptilian display
between reverence
and foreboding
the dragon lives
in hearts and minds
in dreams
and recollections of forever
from smoke and fire
through times mists
in deep caverns
eyes flashing
in the darkness
glowing
like embers
flesh shining
in sinewy cascades
gleaming in the dim surroundings
claws curled and ready
tongue moving
with serpentine guile
the beast waits
sensing its place
in history's hand
easing into ages
yet revealed
testing the patience of prey
with the hunters eye
strength born of fear
of impending doom
infamous modes
as the dragon lurks
secure in its immortality
remember
the
dragon
(c)2010 e.richards
