There could be dragons

A blanket of cloud stretches
Obscures, keeps us blind
But I like to think there could be dragons
Flying just behind

Beyond the hefty, leaden skies
That endless cloak of grey
Brightly coloured reptiles
Might romp around and play

The weather here is usually
Dull and overcast
The valley stays in shadow
But if we could just see past

We might catch a glimpse of fire
Beyond that drab cloud cover
Dragons doing somersaults
Swooping with each other

There could be dragons behind the clouds
Maybe not, I wouldn’t know
Isn’t it nice to think
That they could be up there, though

There are dragons - they are watching and helping - they just don't want us using them like everything else we see.
