Dragon Drive

Dragon drive

Under the pillow is a fantasy land,
A land ruled by a magic wand,
 
Everything seen is never like before,
Joyous breeze, all pervading azure sky,
Exclusive floor, Grecian design crafted on a leather surface,
Scales with uneven contours,
Back view tapers with conical protruding shapes,
Frontal goes as high upto the fire flame,
Some jerky movements-fire out,then smoke
GHOSH! Why am I here?

Seems like an onset of earthquake, 
Both sides stretch wide and wide,
I roll on the expanding surface,
To see myself on the head of a dragon,
Things happen so fast ,no time for fear
And instantly by its reflexes,
Makes me feel wanted and secure,
More than docile, it seems angelic
Conveys  a motherly warmth and care,
Komodo dragon,may be senior of the reptile family, 
Very unlike the iconic animals-
Belligerant,ferocious,despicable,
Brimming with sunny flames.

Do I have to choose….
A place of fun ,wonder,safety,
Joy,kindness,support,stress free,
So tempting….
And down there ,deep down,
The world is dull,dreary,weary,
Violent,greedy,jealous,stress prone,
So pathetic……

Where should I go,
I want to make a difference,
Minimize evil through my resources,
I can make a difference, for the better
I have to go, there is so much to do,
I have to give my share,
I want to go, I want to go……
Is that mom,..Amy baby,wake up
Where do you wanna go?
