The Dragon's Pool Meeting

I see you’ve larked with fairy friends, On bough, in fields, near brooks - Pebbles skim the water’s edge; Jump skip, jump skip, hop - over brook… ‘Which side is greener?’ Asked the Dragon mare. ‘The bough of tree bridges brook - both sides have I tested’, Says the fairy brave, but correcting honour charges - ‘From deep within the wizards’ field-view, safe!’ Adventure and foreign lands lay claim, To imaginations fervent and fertile; Treasures sought, leisure - larking be sought; Toil is not for fairy folk! ‘Pray why, Dragon mare, do you enquire so?’ ‘My thoughts to share with fairy folks? Ah! ‘I the pool have mastered so, Can stir and stir the pool - like so.’ ‘Watch the ripples in the pond, Lapping and distorting so, Muddy muddles shall I make - like so, And in the commotion you shall I fake - like so!’ ‘Watch the images of you and I… Wish, I watch you say good bye! Good bye! Good bye! Good bye! The seeds I sow, like so - good bye!’ Images of Dragon and Fairy Reflecting, Did merge in muddy muddles so, But Dragon’s arm grew tired and weak, Of turning and turning the pond so deep. And wide and deep it grew as muddy muddles she did sow, Till all around it would allow! Tis not the way of the strongest bough, To be broken by the Dragon’s breath. Hence the bending bough that fringed the pond, Did listened to the wailing Dragon sow, The Dragon’s breath whistled, like wind; Messages on air laid bare. And bye the bye, time did pass, Then all awaited with baited breath, For the wind to change direction so. And so it came - wind sowed did reap! And in the pond ripples that lapped the sides, Had changed direction so, All engulfing did the Dragon find, The successive waves that lapped her mind. What a bind, the waves they lapped her mind! ‘Tis not the fairy that blinds me so, But the bough that bends and shades the pool, like so, And shades the reflection that is mine no more.’ There deep beneath the water so, Now visible is the reflecting fairy so! Bough he bent down low, And offered the fairy reflected espousal. Light and vision in the pool, now so clear… Bough he ought not disappear - Should fairy drown without him near? Aurora swims so, dear; ought she not the Dragon fear?
