Peace

When dragons ruled the atmosphere gliding here, and then flying there. No battle waged on kingdoms where the magical beasts made their lair. The wind blew strong beneath their wings, whispering wise, wizardly things. As though angelic chorus sings, their smoky song of solace brings. Calling for calm against the wrongs that other beings flung in throngs. Let us live and sing soothing songs! This land to everyone belongs! "Peace!" They implored throughout the sky. In formation, they flew close by signaling in soft lullaby that fearful others heed their cry. Though they flew throughout darkened set of sun and rise of moon – not yet! Scathing hate spewed from whom they met. Unwilling hearts to live and let!

Coming from a land always in turmoil, I was captivated by your title and the content. Bring back the dragons, I say. Great write. Loved the use of alliteration.

I see where you stand. People, nations, have no idea they are the next target, i think they hum the Communist tune, give Peace a chance, by the late Lennon. ~No Godin heaven, above us only skies~ Sure! Thats why those ballerinas diedin the UK, and why rioting as here is blamed on the Far Right! 10/7 was horrible…the same group out to kill not only Jews but wake up Christians, you are in their crosshairs as are all in a any free nation.

In tales, dragons were always considered to have been fierce except in children's books. And of course, Puff the magic dragon was very kind. I would tiptoe past the cave of a sleeping dragon so as not to rile his ire. Great writing, Linda.

Hi Lin! Great to see you! Yes, I know they are made out to be fierce and fearless, but surely there must have been a time... Good advice to not rile one. LOL Thanks for your visit and comments! :)

Dear Linda, How I love your wisdom filled peaceful dragons. It truly takes a society coming together in bonds of peace, understanding and wisdom. Oh, so many challenges of achieving peace in the face of entrenched conflict and mistrust. What a delightful read! - Blessings, My Dear Friend, Daniel
