Dragon Fire
Then the dragon fire would ignite,
an energetic fire,
an outlaw flame,
radiant and long lasting,
Orange and yellow and red,
blue and white,
and my flames have burned
for decades, facing wind and water,
and they’re persistent,
never giving up,
and they’re old and strengthened
in their billows of smoke;
they’ll do whatever it takes,
and we can burn down the world
and create a new one,
and we can burn down boredom
and we can burn down fear
and we can burn down loneliness.
We can dance the dragon’s dance,
moving deep into the gaping night,
and when we sleep,
we are sleeping dragons
and when we fly,
we can spread massive golden wings
and shoot into the sky
and to the stars.
So there’s only one more
question to be asked
and this one isn’t mine to ask.
