Dream Dragon Meets Tiny Human
dream dragon found the toddler in the woods
she had glistening hair that reflected the sun
he heard her humans calling for her, so he tried to help
when he rushed toward them they scattered in a multitude of directions
he heard shrieks and slams as they rushed to leave the forest
Surely they are not leaving this babe, he thought
But they did
Every one of them
The tiny human put her arms up to him
He was startled at how trusting and loving she was
he had been warned about the meanness of humans
She was delicate and kind, he felt this instinctively
When dream dragon reached down to lift her she giggled
it was a melodic musical magical sound, and it delighted him
he became her protector, her guardian, her safe place
she is eight-years-young now, and they still dream together
he dreams of the day she will save the forest from her kind
she dreams of the day she will meet the other dragons
they are smitten with each other, like father and daughter
two who came together in love and peace
