There Be Dragons

There Be Dragons In that place where the Earth meets the sky Where magic reigns with myth There dwell, yet still, great dragons that fly Blue unicorn and gryph... Fantastical creatures cloaked in time An epic testament Where the Zepher lifts the fae--sublime No longer reticent-- Beware! The splenetic Nebulous Who guards the minutes there Her exquisite mass is ravenous-- No jot or tittle fare! Do some planning should you gallivant... The fae will help you see, Lilly, Lilac, Aster,Skull--enchant With such simplicity! By the Willow Bliss of Yesterday You just may want to quit... But don't let your vigor ricochet Cherish your kismet! Delight the dragon and get a wish Show some humility But watch your heart--his favorite dish-- Your liability! There be dragons in the twilight of day Timeless and roaming free... Seek an oasis wherever you may And most aggressively! deborah burch© 4/13/2012
