FLIGHT OF THE DRAGON

Hmmm poetry in motion for me, but also can be considered a short story mayhap?

WAY UP YONDER IN THE HIGHLANDS OF SCOTLAND

A DRAGON SLEEPS THROUGH THE PASSAGE OF TIME

WAITING FOR THE ARCH ANGEL TO AWAKEN HIM

THIS DRAGON IS AS ANCIENT AS THE MOTHER EARTH

HIS NAME BE DRACONIS

WHEN HE ROAMED THE SKIES THERE WAS PEACE IN THE LAND

NOW THERE IS ONLY HATRED AND CRIME

HE WAITS IN SLUMBER

FOR THE ARCH ANGEL TO SING HIS HYMN

SO THAT ONE DAY, PEACE WILL ONCE AGAIN COME OVER THE EARTH

NOW IT IS TIME TO AWAKEN DRACONIS

THE HYMN IS SUNG WITH A SWORD IN HER HAND

IT IS A HYMN FROM THE ANCIENT DRUIDS' TIME

SHE HATH RETURNED TO AWAKEN HIM

AND SHE NOW THRUSTS THE SWORD INTO THE EARTH

IT IS TIME FOR YE TO AWAKEN, DRACONIS!

A RAY OF PURE LIGHT SPREADS ACROSS THE LAND

AS DRACONIS AWAKENS FROM HIS SLUMBER OF TIME

HE STRETCHES HIS WINGS WHILE CHANTING HIS RHYME

SOARS THROUGH THE SKY IN ANCIENT BEAUTY ABOVE THE EARTH

PEACE AND LOVE SHALL REIGN FOREVER WITH

THE FLIGHT OF THE DRAGON

DRACONIS

Author's Note

This can either be classified as a poem (which is how I pictured it while writing partly) or as a short story (which was yet another way I pictured it while writing)
