Secret of Swan Lake
On dreamy beautiful lake there is a swan
The sun just came up and it is now dawn
Young elk and his mate are raising a fawn
On the meadow next to the lake narcissi, iris, orange tiger lilies, and other flowers lie upon
The rays of sun touch the waters of the lake
Sun is now fully awake
Tall water pall surrounds the lake
Rushes hum gently as ducks and geese splashes in water make
In those rushes wind sings ballad of the old
About kings and their gold
The scene is serene but suddenly wind gets cold
Like it was warning something dangerous is in those rushes something dreadful to behold
Suddenly all ducks and geese
Their bathing cease
And leave as the winds’ chill will increase
For a moment there is complete silence peace
As young man looks at rushes he remembers the stories of the old
Suddenly his blood runs cold
As a figure of dragon with five snakes like heads will unfold
The dragon is terrifying to behold
It is not like dragon of Chinese lore
That is now standing upon blood soaked moor
This is a dragon that human companionship abhor
The snake heads are terrifying but lot worse is the symbol that their hoods adore
Each of the heads has neck with a hood
Resembling cobra’s hood
And the symbol on it is well understood
It is the symbol of skeletal warlock himself with a hood
The blood is of the fallen warriors who tried to tame the beast
That came with roaring thunder from the East
And all who try to destroy it are now deceased
As dragon on human flesh would feast
Our warrior impales the dragon on a sharp spine
But if dragon would not be evil he would be divine
He is unaffected by the spine
And proudly opens his hood with warlock sign
As dragon opens his bat like wings he covers the sun
The battle of titans has begun
What do you want here warrior of blue sun
Said the dragon you know I can’t be bitten
His majesty
Promised his daughter to me
He said defeat the dragon or brings it to me
And my daughter who loves you yours will be
How will you accomplish that goal
I'm master of very time that measures your soul
I have discontinuous number of time of the soul
Under my control
You see Hamlet was wrong dear dragon even if man is flawed
He can do a lot with math and is no nimrod
But math he knows is just a façade
Behind it he has access to visage of very God
With those words warrior looked at the dragon whose wings covered the sky
Dragon a colossal creature was able to fly
He knew dragon should not die
But to stop it he removed dragons’ third eye
