Flight of Dragons
I know it's hard please grandchildren
standstill
You should have gotten tired after climbing
the hill
to my friend Minerva's country cabin.
Please say hello to her, Althena her little owl,
And her friend Dawn the deer.
We want to make it clear
that we are all thankful for this opportunity
on this spring evening to see the books that
are now open.
We will be the first humans who get to see
the flight of dragons. It won't be much longer
until they will go soaring out of the door in to
the night.
This only happens
When there is a crinkle in time which comes
when the lunar color is ultramarine
giving off an eerie light.
This event won't be a minuscule scene.
It will be shards falling which you will get a
glimpse of as they shatter the older dragons
will replace them with their bodies which will
bestow dust particles of themselves on to the
cascade of raindrops moving in
giving them a gorgeous color of gold.
This will then spread in to a magnificent
ribbon giving us a perfect sunrise
showing us their untimely demise.
As the sun comes up the earth will reflect
before the sun goes to scarlet.
This was the old ones debt
that they paid off for the youngins.
Minerva says this is how it has always been.
