Dragons and Fairies
Not long ago, in a faraway land,
people: lived amongst dragons and fairies.
Some villagers swore they'd seen them firsthand:
while out gathering mushrooms or berries.
We were friends back then, not adversaries:
and were treated as contemporaries.
It's believed fairies and dragons were kin,
glimpse either one, and the other's nearby.
They loved the soft sound of a mandolin,
and somehow magically learned to fly:
often zipping across the open sky,
quick as you please; in the blink of an eye.
In time, jealous humans hunted them down,
until most Dragons and fairies were slain.
And where forest once grew, Man built a town:
sowing the once open meadows with grain.
And dragons and fairies fled Man's disdain:
vowing they'd never trust humans again.
Mere figments of our imagination,
or creatures, once part of God's creation?
