Dragons

Many people think humans adopt dragons

But they’re wrong.

There is something crazily, insanely, terrifyingly powerful about dragons.

And there is something hauntingly forbidding about the fact that they might almost, exist.

The one thing I know about dragons is that they are protective of what they call home.

In tales they burn down villages to take their sheep and break into castles for the treasures they seek.

In truth, we don’t know any of this. Maybe dragons are the little lizards we find on the ground and nothing more.

But I do know, that there is something hauntingly forbidding about the fact that might, almost exist.

I know that they might not guard treasures or slaves, but something tells me they never left their grave.

That they are soaring above the clouds. Just out of reach, amidst thunder showers.

There is something so hauntingly forbidding that’s it’s almost real, about the fact that dragons might be real.

There are some things that prove us wrong. Like that no bones or fossils are ever found.

But, there’s something else like an itch in my brain, that we might almost, one day, see them again.
