The Dragon

The dragon ?? He walks the lonely road tonight and he looked to demon dark skyes his family knows that he won't be coming home on this wet dreary night. He took his last breath on that fateful Friday night, he chased his dream dragon even known it may take his life. They say he was a good man that he did no wrong he just lost his way and felt like he never had a home. But all the while he was dreaming of living simple lifes, he kept on chasing dragons till that dragon took his life. Laura Williamson 20/05/2018

Laura! Such a deep poem! Am I wrong here on what poem is about - addiction? I love the mystery you give to the person battling the dragon! Very nice read.

There are dragons in all our lives and the struggle continues to free ourselves of the dark places in our hearts.
