A Dragon Lesson
Ebony blue-eyed dragon of fierceness with green iridescent wings,
How do you hide in the night sky?
Not easily, she replied, but it can be done, if you are true to your kind.
Better when it is foggy, and when other dragons are not about,
for this is when people least expect you.
Do you sneak up on your enemies? I asked her.
No.
Never?
She shook her powerful head, ‘no’.
Why not?
“I have no enemies,” she told me. “Only friends I do not know yet.”
Teaching me a valuable lesson, and to not generalize dragons.
