Dragons Dream as Dragons Do
I step out onto the grass,
I nod as Sparx as he flies past.
I rub my eyes, let out a yawn,
Once more I'm here to greet the dawn.
…
I listen as the crickets sing,
See flights of birds that take to wing.
Sparx, he joins them in the air,
Yet I feel touch of despair.
…
I too am a dragonfly,
But yet too large to take to sky.
My wings can't get me off the ground,
My heart, ever tighter it's wound.
…
Parents say I am still family,
Try to relieve my misery.
From Sparx, my troubled thoughts I hide,
My anxieties I don't confide.
…
Just don't look like a dragonfly,
Fear that I will never take to sky.
Just stuck down here, on the dirt,
Feeling I'm of little worth.
…
The day passes and dies the light.
The world, it turns and comes the night.
I wish my sleep could be serene,
But dark, uneasy are my dreams.
…
In them, I'm not a dragonfly,
In them, I see world burn and die.
Cinders, darkness, fires, flame,
But from waking I refrain.
…
For while in my dreams the world it burns,
In reality, the world still turns.
For in my dreams, I take to sky,
Only in my dreams can I still fly.
