        <title>ปีศาจร้าย...คือข้า (The Evil, I Am)</title>
        <page_header>The creature of shadow, I am<br/>
my sound horrible to those who hear,<br/>
my eyes like the glint of evil,<br/>
and my claws...are death<br/>
to those who see.<br/>
<br/>
I have walked in the path of shadow,<br/>
stalk within the death of night,<br/>
hidden in brush,<br/>
waiting for prey.<br/>
<br/>
I am of the Raptors,<br/>
the hunters of woodland,<br/>
the death lightning,<br/>
and the great beast of dead and evil,<br/>
to those who are my prey.<br/>
<br/>
The father of children, I am<br/>
the mate of her beautiful one,<br/>
we both walk in the path of evil,<br/>
to hunt, to kill, to bring food to those<br/>
children who are waiting for.<br/>
<br/>
The evil, we are,<br/>
in the eyes of many,<br/>
the father and mother, we also be.<br/>
<br/>
This may be the path of shadow,<br/>
but it's our path,<br/>
and it will always be.<br/>
<br/>
It's the path of our live, our race.<br/>
Watch for us, fight with us, run away from us,<br/>
for you and your own race,<br/>
however strong or weak you may be.<br/>
<br/>
It's just a way of Nature.<br/>
<br/>
But do remember,<br/>
one breath can change the future.</page_header>
        <text>สิ่งมีชีวิตแห่งเงามืด...คือข้า<br/>
เสียงของข้าทำให้ดวงจิตที่เข้มแข็งสั่นไหว<br/>
ดวงตาของข้าเปล่งประกายแห่งปีศาจร้าย<br/>
กรงเล็บของข้า...คือความตาย<br/>
แก่ผู้ได้ยล<br/>
<br/>
ข้าเดินไปในหนทางแห่งความมืดมิด<br/>
ก้าวไปในเงามืดแห่งรัตติกาล<br/>
ซุ่มซ่อนตัวในพุ่มไม้<br/>
รอคอยเหยื่อ<br/>
<br/>
แร็ปเตอร์...คือข้า<br/>
นักล่าแห่งป่าดิบ<br/>
สายฟ้าแห่งความตาย<br/>
ปีศาจร้ายและสัตว์แห่งรัตติกาล<br/>
แก่ผู้ที่เป็นเหยื่อของข้า<br/>
<br/>
พ่อของลูกๆ...คือข้า<br/>
คู่ของเธอผู้เลอโฉม<br/>
เราทั้งคู่ก้าวไปในหนทางแห่งปีศาจร้าย<br/>
เพื่อฆ่า เพื่อล่า เพื่อหาอาหาร<br/>
เพื่อลูกๆ ที่กำลังรออยู่<br/>
<br/>
ปีศาจร้าย...เราเป็น<br/>
ในสายตาของหลายผู้<br/>
หากแต่พ่อและแม่...ก็คือเราเช่นกัน<br/>
<br/>
นี่อาจเป็นหนทางแห่งความมืดมิด<br/>
แต่มันก็คือทางของเรา<br/>
และมันจะเป็นต่อไป<br/>
<br/>
มันคือหนทางของเรา...ของชีวิต...ของเผ่าพันธุ์<br/>
จงระวังเรา...สู้กับเรา...วิ่งหนีจากเรา<br/>
เพื่อตัวเจ้าและเผ่าพันธุ์ของเจ้าเอง<br/>
ไม่ว่าเจ้าจะแข็งแกร่งหรืออ่อนแอเพียงใด<br/>
<br/>
มันก็แค่หนทางแห่งธรรมชาติ<br/>
<br/>
แต่...จงจำไว้<br/>
หนึ่งลมหายใจอาจเปลี่ยนอนาคต</text>

        <page_header></page_header>
        <text>สายลมเอ๋ย...สายลมซึ่งพัดพาเมฆหมอกให้ล่องลอย...<br/>
...สายลมซึ่งพัดพาฝนไปตกยังทะเลทราย...<br/>
...สายลมซึ่งพัดพาความอบอุ่นมายังดินแดนที่หนาวเย็น...<br/>
...ไม่มีสิ่งใดหยุดยั้งได้...<br/>
...แม้บางครั้ง...จะพบกับเขาสูงเสียดฟ้า...<br/>
...แม้บางครั้ง...จะผ่านหุบเหวที่ไร้สิ้นสุด...<br/>
...แม้บางครั้ง...จะต้องเดินทางไปอย่างไร้จุดหมาย...<br/>
...แต่สายลมก็ยังไม่ย่อท้อ...<br/>
...ถึงแม้ว่า...สายลมจะเต็มไปด้วยมลพิษสักเพียงใด...<br/>
...ถึงแม้ว่า...สายลมจะยังคงนำความแห้งแล้งไปยังดินแดนที่ชุ่มชื้น...และนำความหนาวเย็นมาสู่ดินแดนที่อบอุ่น...<br/>
...ถึงแม้ว่า...สายลมจะนำหายนะมาสู่...<br/>
...แต่เราก็ยังคงต้องการมัน...<br/>
...แล้วบัดนี้...โชคชะตาจะพัดพาให้สายลมเป็นเช่นไร...<br/>
...คือความลับที่มิอาจมีผู้ใดล่วงรู้</text>

        <title>เธอ (She)</title>
        <page_header>Her form is fleeting,<br/>
Flying to lofty heights.<br/>
She seems to serene, so happy.<br/>
Her body twists and turns,<br/>
Her wings outspread in a marvoulus display of beauty.<br/>
And she lands.<br/>
Her feet gently skimming the ground,<br/>
She stops.<br/>
A sudden sadness comes over her,<br/>
She knows she is all alone.<br/>
Her friends,<br/>
Her family,<br/>
Her lover,<br/>
They are all gone.<br/>
It is no longer the age of dragons,<br/>
But the age of man,<br/>
Her beauty is not known,<br/>
Her knowledge is not sought,<br/>
Noone anywhere values her,<br/>
Or calls her by her name.<br/>
Her time has come and gone,<br/>
Come and gone again.<br/>
She is not a great poet, <br/>
As those who have been before,<br/>
She is not a great pantier, or writer,<br/>
As those dragons who have melted into the folds of humanity.<br/>
She is alone,<br/>
In what she is.<br/>
Her spirt, her soul,<br/>
One of a kind on the desprate, deserted plain.<br/>
She knows this,<br/>
She feels this,<br/>
She can't stand this,<br/>
As a singular crystalline tear falls down her bright scales,<br/>
And lands next to her great moonlight talons,<br/>
And she curls up,<br/>
As she did so long ago,<br/>
In the confining egg,<br/>
Where she was surrounded by those who loved her,<br/>
Those who cared.<br/>
And she takes a deep breath,<br/>
And sighs,<br/>
Her last intake of air.</page_header>
        <text>เธอโบยบินไปบนผืนฟ้า<br/>
อยู่สูงเกินสายตาจะมองเห็น<br/>
เธอดูมีความสุขและสดใส<br/>
เที่ยวบินเล่นไปในนภา<br/>
ปีกงามต้องตายามได้ชม<br/>
เธอร่อนสู่พื้นดิน<br/>
เท้าสัมผัสดินที่แสนอ่อนนุ่ม<br/>
เธอหยุด<br/>
และความเศร้าก็เข้าครอบงำ<br/>
ยามนี้เธออยู่โดดเดี่ยว<br/>
เพื่อน...<br/>
พี่น้อง...<br/>
คนที่รัก...<br/>
พวกเขาจากไป<br/>
ไม่มียุคแห่งมังกรอีกต่อไปแล้ว<br/>
มีแต่ยุคของผู้คน<br/>
ความงามของเธอไม่เป็นที่รู้จัก<br/>
ความรู้ของเธอไม่อาจปรากฏ<br/>
ไม่มีใครเห็นค่าของเธอ<br/>
ไม่มีใครเรียกชื่อเธอดังที่เคยเป็น<br/>
เวลาของเธอหมดไปแล้ว<br/>
มาแล้วและหมดไป<br/>
เธอไม่ใช่กวี<br/>
เหมือนดังที่หลายคนเป็น<br/>
มิใช่นักเขียน<br/>
ดังที่มังกรทั้งหลายเป็นในร่างมนุษย์<br/>
เธออยู่โดดเดี่ยว<br/>
ในร่างที่เธอเป็น<br/>
หัวใจและจิตวิญญาณ<br/>
แห้งเหี่ยวราวทะเลทราย<br/>
เธอรู้สึก<br/>
เธอสัมผัสได้<br/>
เธอมิอาจทนได้<br/>
หยดน้ำตาร่วงลงสู่เกล็ดที่เป็นประกาย<br/>
ภายใต้แสงจันทร์วันเพ็ญ<br/>
และเธอก็ขดตัว<br/>
ดังที่เธอเคยทำในกาลก่อน<br/>
ในรังที่แสนอบอุ่น<br/>
ล้อมรอบด้วยผู้ที่เธอรัก<br/>
ผู้ที่เธอห่วงใย<br/>
เธอหลับตา<br/>
และถอนหายใจเป็นครั้งสุดท้าย<br/>
ก่อนจะบินจากไปในสายลม</text>

        <title>ผู้ปกครองจักรวาล (Rulers of the Universe)</title>
        <page_header>Lurking in the shadows all my life,<br/>
My heart is full of hate,<br/>
My mind full of strife,<br/>
And now I must show my power before it is too late.<br/>
<br/>
I sleep restlessly in my lair,<br/>
Coming from outside, a noise,<br/>
The sound grows loud and fills the air,<br/>
I lift my head to listen, poised.<br/>
<br/>
A plee of mercy from a girl,<br/>
I crawl cautiously out of my home,<br/>
A knoght with a sword to hurl,<br/>
Into my heart, he misses and freely I roam.<br/>
<br/>
Realizing their mistake,<br/>
The humans know that death will come soon,<br/>
Blood fills the lake,<br/>
While I lift my head to the bone white moon,<br/>
<br/>
A village gone forever,<br/>
I move on along to another,<br/>
I conquer more humans, however,<br/>
I soon will have to fight a fellow brother.<br/>
<br/>
Flying high through the sky,<br/>
Over clouds and under rain,<br/>
Something catches my eye,<br/>
A sleek body, a blood red mane.<br/>
<br/>
We clash together in rage,<br/>
He is a strong one,<br/>
As a &quot;young one&quot; he was caged,<br/>
The victor, unknown, until the battle is done.<br/>
<br/>
He falls to earth,<br/>
I am the winner,<br/>
Light, as bright as the fire from a heath,<br/>
My mind grows vague and thinner.<br/>
<br/>
God has chosen me,<br/>
I will live for all of time,<br/>
And yet, I am not yet to be free,<br/>
A tomb, I see, is mine.<br/>
<br/>
Thousands of years come to pass,<br/>
I fear my past,<br/>
In my mind the face's a mass,<br/>
A human voice &quot;this is the last.&quot;<br/>
<br/>
A man with a sword,<br/>
Strong and clever,<br/>
He will not be ignored,<br/>
No, not ever.<br/>
<br/>
He and I are the same,<br/>
The last of our kind,<br/>
Together we keep each other sane,<br/>
Then to each other we bind.<br/>
<br/>
A companion I see,<br/>
We will protect all living things,<br/>
Together we will fight, him an me,<br/>
He draws his sword I bear my fangs.<br/>
<br/>
Here we are,<br/>
Behold us,<br/>
We are the,<br/>
Rulers of the Universe</page_header>
        <text>ข้าซ่อนตัวอยู่ในเงามืดมาตลอดชีวิต<br/>
หัวใจเต็มไปด้วยความเกลียดชัง<br/>
จิตใจเต็มไปด้วยการต่อสู้<br/>
ถึงเวลาแล้วที่ข้าต้องแสดงพลังให่โลกเห็น<br/>
<br/>
ข้านอนกระสับกระส่ายอยู่ในรัง<br/>
เสียงหนึ่งดังจากภายนอก<br/>
ดังขึ้นดังขึ้นกึกก้อง<br/>
ข้าเอียงหูฟัง เงยหัวขึ้นมอง<br/>
<br/>
เสียงร้องอ้อนวอนของหญิงสาว<br/>
ข้าคลานออกไปอย่างระแวดระวัง<br/>
อัศวินปรากฏการเหวี่ยงดาบในมือ<br/>
เขาพลาด ข้าทะยานขึ้นสูงสู่ท้องฟ้าเบื้องบน<br/>
<br/>
มนุษย์ได้รู้ถึงความผิดที่ตนก่อ<br/>
ได้ล่วงรู้ว่าความตายใกล้เข้ามา<br/>
สายน้ำเปลี่ยนเป็นสีเลือด<br/>
ขณะข้าเงยหน้ามองดวงจันทร์อันขาวหม่น<br/>
<br/>
หมู่บ้านหนึ่งหายไปแล้ว<br/>
ข้าบินต่อไปสู่หมู่บ้านอื่น<br/>
หากแต่ในไม่ช้า<br/>
ข้าจะต้องสู้กับพวกพ้องตนเอง<br/>
<br/>
บินสูงเหนือผินฟ้า<br/>
เหนือหมู่เมฆและสายฝน<br/>
บางสิ่งปรากฏ<br/>
ร่างกายเป็นมันวาว แผงคอแดงฉานราวโลหิต<br/>
<br/>
เราปะทะกันด้วยความโกรธเกรี้ยว<br/>
มันแข็งแกร่ง<br/>
หาไม่ก็คงถูกจับขัง<br/>
ผู้ชนะจะไม่ปรากฏจนการต่อสู้สิ้นสุด<br/>
<br/>
ร่างของมันร่วงสู่ผืนแผ่นดิน<br/>
ข้าคือผู้ชนะ<br/>
ผืนฟ้าสว่างวาบท่ามกลางพายุ<br/>
จิตใจของข้าเริ่มเลื่อนลอยไร้จุดหมาย<br/>
<br/>
พระเจ้าได้เลือกข้าแล้ว<br/>
ข้าจะมีชีวิตนิรันดร์<br/>
แต่ยัง ข้ายังไม่เป็นอิสระ<br/>
หลุมศพของข้า ข้าเห็น<br/>
<br/>
หลายพันปีกลายเป็นอดีต<br/>
ข้ากลัวอดีต<br/>
ในจิตใจใบหน้ามากมายตามหลอกหลอน<br/>
หนึ่งเสียงมนุษย์ดังขึ้น &quot;นี่คือตัวสุดท้าย&quot;<br/>
<br/>
มนุษย์ชุดเกราะและดาบในมือ<br/>
แข็งแกร่งและชาญฉลาด<br/>
เขาจะไม่ถูกละเว้น<br/>
ไม่มีวัน<br/>
<br/>
ทั้งเขาและข้าก็เหมือนกัน<br/>
ตัวสุดท้ายของเผ่าพันธุ์<br/>
เราต่างละเว้นให้กัน<br/>
และเราทั้งคู่ก็เริ่มผูกพัน<br/>
<br/>
คู่หูเราเป็น<br/>
เราจะพิทักษ์สรรพสิ่ง<br/>
ต่อสู้เคียงข้างกัน เขาและข้า<br/>
เขาเหวี่ยงดาบ ข้าตะปบ<br/>
<br/>
นี่คือเรา<br/>
ระวังเราให้ดี...<br/>
เพราะเราคือ...<br/>
ผู้ปกครองจักรวาล...</text>

        <page_header></page_header>
        <text>I feel the cold of the night<br/>
all alone.<br/>
The once great, beautiful beast<br/>
of a dreamer.<br/>
The race of dreamers<br/>
slowly disappears.<br/>
And so as they go<br/>
I will too.<br/>
The once proud race of the Dragon<br/>
slowly dwindles under the moon.<br/>
What will I do?<br/>
What will I do?<br/>
I can do nothing...<br/>
For only the imagination of dreamers<br/>
Keeps me alive.<br/>
The death of the imagination used to create me<br/>
May destroy me in the end.<br/>
Am I the last?<br/>
How would I know?<br/>
So I will stay in my sanctuary<br/>
Hidden from the madness of mankind<br/>
And wait<br/>
And see<br/>
And stay only in the sight of dreamers.<br/>
Their dreams will never end.<br/>
Keep me alive dreamers!<br/>
For the dragon is the symbol of the soul<br/>
And once your soul is lost<br/>
You will have lost humanity.</text>

        <title>Believe!</title>
        <page_header></page_header>
        <text>I stand here before you in all my glory,<br/>
And still you disbelieve !<br/>
I fan out my wings and move the wind,<br/>
Do senses then deceive ?<br/>
<br/>
You feel my breath, and smell it too !<br/>
Yet you're still filled with doubt.<br/>
Are you a sentient creature man ?<br/>
Or just a sodden lout ?<br/>
<br/>
The breach between our lives is much,<br/>
Your own are so damned short.<br/>
We wander about the heavens above,<br/>
You scratch your lives from earth.<br/>
<br/>
So rarely do you raise your eyes,<br/>
To SEE what's in the sky.<br/>
You're focused only your shoes,<br/>
Such wonders pass you by.<br/>
<br/>
Those brief and rare encounters, <br/>
Are passed off as dreams and fancy<br/>
Denial of life's wondrous things<br/>
Or found to be too chancy.<br/>
<br/>
So quiet desperation, holds,<br/>
Your lives within its claws.<br/>
You shudder at the fear of death,<br/>
At its approaching maw.<br/>
<br/>
So why not revel in your lives,<br/>
Though short they burn so bright.<br/>
Around us all is darkness, yet<br/>
You fill it up with light.<br/>
<br/>
Cast off your dour faces,<br/>
Raise up your gaze in joy.<br/>
Observe us soaring in the skies,<br/>
Yell out. We'll hear. &quot;Ahoy !&quot;<br/>
<br/>
We're eager to be social,<br/>
One can't have enough friends.<br/>
Remembering each other long,<br/>
After we've found our ends.<br/>
<br/>
So when you're sleeping in the sand,<br/>
Our good times I'll recall.<br/>
And smile for your memory,<br/>
Yes you, you're warts and all.<br/>
<br/>
So break out past your paradigms,<br/>
Let's fill the world with laughter.<br/>
Believe in us or doubt us,<br/>
We here ond we're hereafter.</text>

        <text>O The Wind,<br/>
The leader of clouds in the sky,<br/>
The bringer of rain to the sand,<br/>
And the bringer of warmth to where there is none.<br/>
Nothing can stop it,<br/>
Even meeting the highest mountain,<br/>
Or passing through the deepest abyss,<br/>
Or traveling on the endless road.<br/>
But the wind never gives up.<br/>
Although...<br/>
The wind is full of pollution,<br/>
Although the wind also brings dryness to rainy lands and coldness to where it is warm,<br/>
Although the wind bring disaster to,<br/>
But we still need it.<br/>
Now, where the wheel of fortune leads the wind to?<br/>
...The secret no one can be known</text>

        <page_header></page_header>
        <text>Flick of tail, glint of scale<br/>
Shining, shimmer-shimmer, wandering<br/>
Whiskers perhaps, or none<br/>
They walk amongst us.<br/>
<br/>
Lengthy-length, neck with strength<br/>
Sometimes heard a song they sing<br/>
Standing quad with catlike pause<br/>
They walk amongst us.<br/>
<br/>
Sharpened claws, leath'ry paws<br/>
Running, jump-jump, flying<br/>
Jeweled eye, colored sun<br/>
They walk amongst us.<br/>
<br/>
Whip-whipping, an agile tail<br/>
Whispered word of some large thing<br/>
Gliding smooth with birdlike cause<br/>
They walk amongst us.<br/>
<br/>
Beat of wing, sail-like thing<br/>
Flitting, stroke-stroke, smiling<br/>
Jutting horns, adorned on some<br/>
They walk amongst us.<br/>
<br/>
Talky-talk, a gentle growl<br/>
Perhaps be learned, to an age-old king<br/>
Teaching some with magelike prose<br/>
They walk amongst us.<br/>
<br/>
A different folk, a different bulk<br/>
Living, love-loving, holding<br/>
Warm heart, no small crumb<br/>
They walk amongst us.<br/>
<br/>
Skim-skimming, what lays within<br/>
Of tooth and claw and scale and wing<br/>
Honing self with form that shows<br/>
They walk amongst us.<br/>
<br/>
Wave of hand, another brand<br/>
Tanning, hairy-hairy, knowing<br/>
Draconic one, is human become<br/>
They walk amongst us</text>

        <page_header>How can you describe something you can't touch,<br/>
When I try to think of the words I can't think of much;<br/>
This feeling deep within my soul that lets me know,<br/>
There is more to me than this body can show;<br/>
I can feel my tail, scales and wings when I try,<br/>
But I know that with these wings I cannot fly;<br/>
I cannot breath fire and my claws are not too sharp,<br/>
I am not free and it weighs heavy upon my heart;<br/>
The words to describe this are hard to find,<br/>
How to say that I am not of human but dragonkind;<br/>
Someday I'll find a way to explain how I feel,<br/>
The dragon within me, he is real.</page_header>
        <text>คุณจะอธิบายอย่างไรในสิ่งซึ่งมิอาจจับต้อง<br/>
เมื่อฉันพยายามนึกคำที่ฉันไม่อาจนึกออก<br/>
หัวใจบอกให้ฉันรู้ถึงความรู้สึกที่ซ่อนอยู่ในจิตวิญญาณ<br/>
ฉันเป็นมากกว่าที่ร่างกายนี้แสดงให้เห็น<br/>
ฉันรู้สึกได้ถึงหาง เกล็ด และปีกของฉัน<br/>
แม้จะรู้ด้วยปีกนี้ฉันไม่อาจบิน<br/>
ไม่อาจพ่นไฟและกรงเล็บก็ไม่แหลมคม<br/>
ฉันรู้สึกเหมือนกับว่ามันถูกกักขังอยู่ภายในหัวใจ<br/>
การพรรณาสิ่งนี้นั้นยากนัก<br/>
ฉันจะอธิบายได้อย่างไรว่ามิใช่มนุษย์แต่เป็นมังกร<br/>
แล้ววันหนึ่งฉันจะพบหนทางอธิบายความรู้สึก<br/>
ว่ามีมังกรอาศัยอยู่ในกายฉัน</text>

        <title>The Evil, I Am</title>
        <page_header></page_header>
        <text>The creature of shadow, I am<br/>
my sound horrible to those who hear,<br/>
my eyes like the glint of evil,<br/>
and my claws...are death<br/>
to those who see.<br/>
<br/>
I have walked in the path of shadow,<br/>
stalk within the death of night,<br/>
hidden in brush,<br/>
waiting for prey.<br/>
<br/>
I am of the Raptors,<br/>
the hunters of woodland,<br/>
the death lightning,<br/>
and the great beast of dead and evil,<br/>
to those who are my prey.<br/>
<br/>
The father of children, I am<br/>
the mate of her beautiful one,<br/>
we both walk in the path of evil,<br/>
to hunt, to kill, to bring food to those<br/>
children who are waiting for.<br/>
<br/>
The evil, we are,<br/>
in the eyes of many,<br/>
the father and mother, we also be.<br/>
<br/>
This may be the path of shadow,<br/>
but it's our path,<br/>
and it will always be.<br/>
<br/>
It's the path of our live, our race.<br/>
Watch for us, fight with us, run away from us,<br/>
for you and your own race,<br/>
however strong or weak you may be.<br/>
<br/>
It's just a way of Nature.<br/>
<br/>
But do remember,<br/>
one breath can change the future.</text>

        <title>The Adept</title>
        <page_header></page_header>
        <text>I have walked the paths;the shadowed roads<br/>
that lead to terror's breast. I have plumbed the depths of<br/>
hatred's womb and scaled destruction's crest.<br/>
<br/>
for every secret left unveiled, for every power learned,<br/>
i'd sell the remnants of my soul, regardless how it burned.<br/>
And still i sought a higher wisdom few could have attained.<br/>
Though i found it, it would leave me - broken, damned and drained.<br/>
<br/>
For now i find this power gained is more unto a curse.<br/>
My spirit burns with every spell, and each irreverant verse.<br/>
Despite this strenght an knowledge gained, i have paid a heave toll,<br/>
Never should've traded power for my own immortal soul.</text>

        <title>She</title>
        <page_header></page_header>
        <text>Her form is fleeting,<br/>
Flying to lofty heights.<br/>
She seems to serene, so happy.<br/>
Her body twists and turns,<br/>
Her wings outspread in a marvoulus display of beauty.<br/>
And she lands.<br/>
Her feet gently skimming the ground,<br/>
She stops.<br/>
A sudden sadness comes over her,<br/>
She knows she is all alone.<br/>
Her friends,<br/>
Her family,<br/>
Her lover,<br/>
They are all gone.<br/>
It is no longer the age of dragons,<br/>
But the age of man,<br/>
Her beauty is not known,<br/>
Her knowledge is not sought,<br/>
Noone anywhere values her,<br/>
Or calls her by her name.<br/>
Her time has come and gone,<br/>
Come and gone again.<br/>
She is not a great poet, <br/>
As those who have been before,<br/>
She is not a great pantier, or writer,<br/>
As those dragons who have melted into the folds of humanity.<br/>
She is alone,<br/>
In what she is.<br/>
Her spirt, her soul,<br/>
One of a kind on the desprate, deserted plain.<br/>
She knows this,<br/>
She feels this,<br/>
She can't stand this,<br/>
As a singular crystalline tear falls down her bright scales,<br/>
And lands next to her great moonlight talons,<br/>
And she curls up,<br/>
As she did so long ago,<br/>
In the confining egg,<br/>
Where she was surrounded by those who loved her,<br/>
Those who cared.<br/>
And she takes a deep breath,<br/>
And sighs,<br/>
Her last intake of air.</text>

        <page_header></page_header>
        <text>She unfolds her wings ready to set off into the night,<br/>
she looks up into the air, at the moon shining bright,<br/>
With a slight step and a great leap, she takes flight,<br/>
She is the guardian of the night, she fights with all her might,<br/>
She is the Silver Moon Dragon.<br/>
There is a whistle in the air as the wind roars past her ears,<br/>
she is airborne, she flies with such grace, she lives without fear,<br/>
she swoops down over the treetops of the forest great,<br/>
she is on her way to the mountains of her mate,<br/>
She is deeply in love with him.<br/>
<br/>
He looks up into the night, awaiting her arrival.<br/>
Hiding in this cave is his secret to survival,<br/>
He listens to the silence of the night,<br/>
A final look into the air, reveals a wondrous sight.<br/>
His mate, the Silver Moon Dragon.<br/>
As she lands with soft thud, he moves forward to greet,<br/>
What a wondrous time for these two to meet,<br/>
as the moon is in its fullest, and the sun is about to rise,<br/>
the power of the moon with the day as disguise.<br/>
They are meant for each another.<br/>
The sun peeks over the horizon to see the moon is still there,<br/>
Today the moon will be before the sun, an eclipse as you are aware,<br/>
later that night, after the eclipse, people are still celebrating,<br/>
but the dragons are asleep, alongside each another, resting,<br/>
Soon the hatchlings will come.</text>

        <text>Lurking in the shadows all my life,<br/>
My heart is full of hate,<br/>
My mind full of strife,<br/>
And now I must show my power before it is too late.<br/>
<br/>
I sleep restlessly in my lair,<br/>
Coming from outside, a noise,<br/>
The sound grows loud and fills the air,<br/>
I lift my head to listen, poised.<br/>
<br/>
A plee of mercy from a girl,<br/>
I crawl cautiously out of my home,<br/>
A knoght with a sword to hurl,<br/>
Into my heart, he misses and freely I roam.<br/>
<br/>
Realizing their mistake,<br/>
The humans know that death will come soon,<br/>
Blood fills the lake,<br/>
While I lift my head to the bone white moon,<br/>
<br/>
A village gone forever,<br/>
I move on along to another,<br/>
I conquer more humans, however,<br/>
I soon will have to fight a fellow brother.<br/>
<br/>
Flying high through the sky,<br/>
Over clouds and under rain,<br/>
Something catches my eye,<br/>
A sleek body, a blood red mane.<br/>
<br/>
We clash together in rage,<br/>
He is a strong one,<br/>
As a &quot;young one&quot; he was caged,<br/>
The victor, unknown, until the battle is done.<br/>
<br/>
He falls to earth,<br/>
I am the winner,<br/>
Light, as bright as the fire from a heath,<br/>
My mind grows vague and thinner.<br/>
<br/>
God has chosen me,<br/>
I will live for all of time,<br/>
And yet, I am not yet to be free,<br/>
A tomb, I see, is mine.<br/>
<br/>
Thousands of years come to pass,<br/>
I fear my past,<br/>
In my mind the face's a mass,<br/>
A human voice &quot;this is the last.&quot;<br/>
<br/>
A man with a sword,<br/>
Strong and clever,<br/>
He will not be ignored,<br/>
No, not ever.<br/>
<br/>
He and I are the same,<br/>
The last of our kind,<br/>
Together we keep each other sane,<br/>
Then to each other we bind.<br/>
<br/>
A companion I see,<br/>
We will protect all living things,<br/>
Together we will fight, him an me,<br/>
He draws his sword I bear my fangs.<br/>
<br/>
Here we are,<br/>
Behold us,<br/>
We are the,<br/>
Rulers of the Universe</text>

        <text>It is with man<br/>
that I must live,<br/>
but his society can't give<br/>
someone who is different like me<br/>
the simple freedom to just be.<br/>
<br/>
I work a job<br/>
all through the week.<br/>
For safty's sake, should any seek,<br/>
a human form is all they see<br/>
I hide the dragon that is me.<br/>
<br/>
When week is done<br/>
I steal away<br/>
and seek a place where I may play<br/>
and for awhile I can be free<br/>
to be the dragon that is me.<br/>
<br/>
I drive away<br/>
into the night<br/>
far from man and city light<br/>
into the wild where none will see<br/>
I become the dragon that is me.<br/>
<br/>
Then dragon wings<br/>
and dragon flight<br/>
rise into the dead of night<br/>
to ride the storm clouds wild and free<br/>
and be the dragon that is me.<br/>
<br/>
Come the pre-dawn<br/>
dark and cold<br/>
I shift again, my body mold<br/>
so human form is all they'll see<br/>
I mask the dragon that is me.<br/>
<br/>
It seems so sad<br/>
that I must hide<br/>
and in a human form abide.<br/>
To live upon this world you see<br/>
it is myself, I can not be.</text>

When I try to think of the words I can't think of much;<br/>
This feeling deep within my soul that lets me know,<br/>
There is more to me than this body can show;<br/>
I can feel my tail, scales and wings when I try,<br/>
But I know that with these wings I cannot fly;<br/>
I cannot breath fire and my claws are not too sharp,<br/>
I am not free and it weighs heavy upon my heart;<br/>

How to say that I am not of human but dragonkind;<br/>
Someday I'll find a way to explain how I feel,<br/>
The dragon within me, he is real.</text>

        <title>Dragon Was He</title>
        <page_header></page_header>
        <text>in days of old, past times long ago,<br/>
there did live a man, friend of the dragon he<br/>
the sun did shone brightly, upon him<br/>
none knew did they, hid did he his true desire<br/>
heart hoping full, bided he his time<br/>
dragon he could be.<br/>
<br/>
oft seeking, far off away, searched he<br/>
months sought he, nay years indeed, for wish'd sight<br/>
of an instant's rest, came dragons there<br/>
starting awake, saw did he, those search'd long for<br/>
with rumbled voice, took him they with them.<br/>
dragon found, was he.<br/>
<br/>
keeping close, watch'd he did over they.<br/>
sinking heart within, saw he the knight most feared,<br/>
whisper of steel, slinking came death's hand.<br/>
paus'd he did, approach'd the smallest of dragons.<br/>
with awful face, raised the knight his sword,<br/>
dragon lost, was he?<br/>
<br/>
rising soundless, strung the man his bow<br/>
lift he did his arm, nestle feathery death there<br/>
with cry for his soul, slew he the knight,<br/>
and then all knew, dragons gathered they around,<br/>
awoke the man, lo by morning's light<br/>
dragon was he.</text>

Is true to it's heart and true to it's kind<br/>
The dragon is just and fights for what's right<br/>

we will go together, don't mind,<br/>
even the darkness make me cry.<br/>

We will fight, don't mind how hard,<br/>
or much troubles must be passed.<br/>
We will fight, we will go, until last.<br/>
We will fight until victorious.</text>

        <title>Awaken</title>
        <page_header></page_header>
        <text>I drink of the dragons blood<br/>
I feel the magic flow<br/>
It enters my soul<br/>
My being my all<br/>
<br/>
And I feel the dragon within<br/>
I surge with power and spread my wings<br/>
I look to the land below<br/>
And I see my prey<br/>
<br/>
Pitiful<br/>
<br/>
Insignificant<br/>
<br/>
Compared to the power of the dragon<br/>
I swoop towards my prey<br/>
The bloodlust deep in my breast<br/>
I feel the flesh in my talons<br/>
<br/>
I scream with a thousands years of power<br/>
And plunge towards the earth<br/>
I send my thoughts before me and paralyze my prey<br/>
Then swoop and devour all before me<br/>
<br/>
I am dragon<br/>
<br/>
Mightiest of creatures that ever was<br/>
<br/>
Wait I am not the dragon <br/>
I only see it's memories<br/>
I have slain the last dragon<br/>
And drank it's blood<br/>
Only in my dreams and in my blood<br/>
Is the dragon still alive<br/>
<br/>
I fight the thoughts<br/>
I fight the feelings<br/>
And return to man<br/>
The one I am<br/>
<br/>
Not a dragon .. no magic in this blood<br/>
Lost forever when I slew the last dragon<br/>
When I drank the blood<br/>
I became the last dragon<br/>
<br/>
I wait for the time<br/>
When magic will reign again<br/>
And dragon might will be power<br/>
That rules over all<br/>
<br/>
What colour will I be<br/>
Good or evil <br/>
White or black<br/>
Only time will tell<br/>
<br/>
But the dragon will awaken</text>

        <title>That Tiny Touch of Heaven</title>
        <page_header></page_header>
        <text>They are not necessarily metallic, or red, or green or blue,  <br/>
A totally other dragon, of a very mystic hue.<br/>
<br/>
They are the sons of heaven, and to heaven owe their due,<br/>
From the Emperor of heaven, do these dragons take their cue.<br/>
<br/>
And their powers are divided, as responsiblitity.<br/>
Over sky, or cloud or mountain, or lake or stream or sea.<br/>
<br/>
So the dragons all may argue over who's the strongest brute,<br/>
Yet the strongest on a mountain top, may rest and play a flute.<br/>
<br/>
While below on less celestial planes, they rend themselves to shreds,<br/>
The dragons who should take the time, and hie to cooler heads.<br/>
<br/>
For there's more to being 'Dragon', than just being big and bad,<br/>
Why dissappoint the Emperor, and make the Master sad ?<br/>
<br/>
For within each dragon soul there is, a gift no dragon earns,<br/>
That tiny touch of heaven, that lets dragons brightly burn.<br/>
<br/>
So when dragon vanity shines bright, and snobbery prevails,<br/>
Recall the Emperor observes, our heads our souls our tails.</text>

        <text>I am at peace;<br/>
Comforted by the darkness that surrounds me.<br/>
Time has no meaning here.<br/>
Your distant screams are barely acknowledgeable.<br/>
<br/>
Just one thought is all I need.<br/>
<br/>
You call out my name;<br/>
Your voice is hoarse, weak, filled with fear.<br/>
You know it's too late.<br/>
I've already touched you.<br/>
<br/>
Just one thought is all I need.<br/>
<br/>
Your screaming fades from my ears.<br/>
Time is in my control; I control your fate.<br/>
The calmness consumes me<br/>
As I release my restraint.<br/>
<br/>
Just one thought is all it took.<br/>
<br/>
You belong to me.<br/>

        <text>The crystal butterfly of thine dreams hath come to me<br/>
in the form of a dragon both gentle and majestic.<br/>
With eyes like two crystal blue flames,<br/>
fierce when necessary, but always beautiful.<br/>
This dragon hath fallen into the heart of a rabbit<br/>
like a fish into the talons of an eagle.<br/>
There I keep it snug and safe for as long as she will allow.<br/>
The rabbit doth be the luckiest of them all<br/>
and lucky I am to have such good company.<br/>
Company which is good, company that is great,<br/>
company who is the exact opposite of hate truly I mean this.<br/>
Yes truly I do.<br/>
Hopefully some day that dragon will see it that way too.</text>

I stare ahead and numbly nod my head.<br/>
But the truth of the matter is,<br/>
I will never come to understand your ways.<br/>

You trap me here;<br/>
Say you do this for me.<br/>
You say you care for me.<br/>
Why do you restrain me?<br/>

The torture you set upon me<br/>
Tries to change the way I am.<br/>
But that will never happen,<br/>
My will is stronger than your words;<br/>
leaving me unscathed, <br/>
unmarked by what you say.<br/>
<br/>
I hate you.<br/>
Hate you with every moral fiber of my being.<br/>
You are nothing.<br/>
Nothing more than the dirt beneath my feet.<br/>
<br/>
You once told me to prove myself;<br/>
To show the world my intelligence.<br/>
I plan to do that, starting by overpowering you.<br/>
The Keeper has become the Victim.<br/>
<br/>
What will you do when you can no longer control me?<br/>
<br/>
Yeah...a bit angry, no da?  I don't rightly have a title for this one...Whatever, leave one if ya want.<br/>

        <title>Dreams Of Signs And Portents</title>
        <page_header></page_header>
        <text>Ah, feel the sparkling dewdrops that have gathered on your wings<br/>
All while you&amp;#8217;ve slept the night away, and dreamed of many things.<br/>
As dawn&amp;#8217;s first light begins to color up the distant sky<br/>
A stretch of wings, you shake them, and diamonds start to fly<br/>
<br/>
But though your joints are tight, and your muscles need their flexing,<br/>
&amp;#8216;tis the dreams you lived throughout the night, that are perhaps more vexing.<br/>
Ah what strange dreams in fact they were, confusing and awry.<br/>
You dreamed the oddest happenings, you blink and then you sigh.<br/>
<br/>
&lt;hr width=25%&gt;<br/>
<br/>
     [i]Creatures walking on two feet arrived in swarming hordes,<br/>
     Carrying strange titles such as Ladies, Knights and Lords.<br/>
     You went about your business, as always you have done,<br/>
     But soon enough these bipeds interfered with all your fun.<br/>
<br/>
     They came and killed your babies, they came and stole your food.<br/>
     They came to claim the world all up, and never did you good.<br/>
     And yet they truly feared you, whenever you came near,<br/>
     And for that, tried to kill you to assuage their puling fear.[/i]<br/>
<br/>
&lt;hr width=25%&gt;<br/>
<br/>
You pause and turn your head to gaze upon your sleeping mate.<br/>
And wonder if its just a dream or portends dire fate.<br/>
You turn again to let the golden dawn light up your eyes,<br/>
And once again, you wonder, you blink and then you sigh.<br/>
<br/>
From pastel white, to lovely pink and on into brilliant gold,<br/>
The dawn is wonderful again, and yet you now feel old.<br/>
&amp;#8216;Be gone oh horrid nightmare, be gone and go away !&amp;#8217;<br/>
&amp;#8216;Vex me not tomorrow, nor even for today !&amp;#8217;<br/>
<br/>
Beside you a slight warble or perhaps the faintest trill,<br/>
Tells you that your mate, is likely dreaming still.<br/>
And where your minds are bonded, where they both connect<br/>
You borrow from your sleeping mate, his sense of self content.<br/>
<br/>
But still your eyes are troubled, these memories won&amp;#8217;t fade,<br/>
&amp;#8216;Oh please oh please great maker, please make them go away.&amp;#8217;<br/>
Because deep down inside of you, you know some dreams are true,<br/>
And now your great heart skips a beat, you spirit shakes in rue.<br/>
<br/>
Once again you stretch your wings as they begin to dry,<br/>
You crane your neck and gaze aloft, and peer into the sky.<br/>
Ah yes the aether beckons, it calls you &amp;#8216;Come aloft !&amp;#8217;<br/>
You pad about your nesting place, your tread so light and soft.<br/>
<br/>
&lt;hr width=25%&gt;<br/>
<br/>
     [i]And in the crimson distance, upon a storm tossed sea,<br/>
     Some small thing is arriving, perhaps it had to be.<br/>
     A craft or construct made of wood, its out on exploration.<br/>
     And no one knows how much it will, shock The Dragon Nation.<br/>
<br/>
     For time is out of joint, and past meets present future<br/>
     What oh what will heal the wounds, that even time can&amp;#8217;t suture ?<br/>
     For if all things begin sometime, so also do things end.<br/>
     And even for the greatest, some injuries won&amp;#8217;t mend.<br/>
<br/>
     It&amp;#8217;s such a tiny thing, this little wooden boat,<br/>
     Amazing yes oh yes it is, that such a thing can float.<br/>
     T&amp;#8217;would hardly take but just one wave, to wash it all away,<br/>
     But luck is somewhere else now, and this is not your day.<br/>
<br/>
     For though this coast is distant from your nest and from your aerie<br/>
     And what transpires on some beach, would make all dragons wary,<br/>
     Yet there is no dragon present to observe the awkward scene,<br/>
     No dragon to appreciate, because none shared your dream.<br/>
<br/>
     And so upon some obscure beach, a continent is claimed,<br/>
     And for some unknown ruler, the new land is now named.<br/>
     They know the way and will report the news to distant shores,<br/>
     And soon enough this land will have them, and their endless wars.<br/>
<br/>
     Their wars against each other, their wars with nature too.<br/>
     Wherever these small bipeds go, they spread a scarlet hue.<br/>
     Hours pass and then they&amp;#8217;ll board their boat and they&amp;#8217;ll be gone.<br/>
     The rising tide soon after, wipes their sign &amp;#8216;Good bye, so long !&amp;#8217;[/i]<br/>
<br/>
&lt;hr width=25%&gt;<br/>
<br/>
You step up to the rising flank of your somnolent mate,<br/>
The morning still advancing, he should wake it&amp;#8217;s getting late.<br/>
To arouse your great beloved, you give a gentle nudge,<br/>
Of course right now, as always, he does not even budge.<br/>
<br/>
You stretch and fan your wings a bit, and now its time to yawn,<br/>
And yonder, breaks the sun&amp;#8217;s great disk, and truly now it&amp;#8217;s dawn.<br/>
Another dragon day is on, you wish to fly and sing.<br/>
And leave your dreams behind you, and move on to other things<br/>
<br/>
&lt;hr width=25%&gt;<br/>
<br/>
     [i]But far away are folks who wish to own what they have not.<br/>
     To make you serve up all you have, and lose what you have got.<br/>
     Yet it&amp;#8217;s in some clouded future still unwritten in the mists.<br/>
     Beware the hand of fate, dear dragons, you are on it&amp;#8217;s lists.[/i]</text>

        <title>The Kiss</title>
        <page_header></page_header>
        <text> A blue moon rises over the fetlocks and moors of the land<br/>
A cold wind sighs in the trees above<br/>
A whispering willow bows her old knees<br/>
As another young maiden passes the cove<br/>
<br/>
Long strands of greasy hair whip behind the girl<br/>
Long hands reach to the thorns of the rose<br/>
Long whispers in the bends and breaks of the trees<br/>
As the maiden passes through with torn clothes<br/>
<br/>
She pauses at the waterfront to look upon herself<br/>
She stops and stares at the tattered flesh she wears<br/>
She gazes down at the thing before her<br/>
As this maiden passes, cheeks strewn with tears<br/>
<br/>
Her strides carry her past another tree of old<br/>
Her legs ache with every step<br/>
Her very heart hurts from the losses she caused<br/>
As the maiden passes on to her depth<br/>
<br/>
One last look as the water fades behind her<br/>
One more step before the end<br/>
One thing to do to finish her quest<br/>
As the maiden passes beyond the bend<br/>
<br/>
The maiden stops before a great statue leaning over a cliff<br/>
The young girl stares at this precarious thing<br/>
The female beast that she is just stares<br/>
As this maiden passes beyond this lands king<br/>
<br/>
Simple fingers caress the statue before her<br/>
Simple hands remember what she was<br/>
Simple tears spill down her cheeks and cracked skin<br/>
As the maiden passes through life without pause<br/>
<br/>
Another dragon has fallen to man<br/>
Another good kin swept out of this world<br/>
Another whisper echoes in the trees<br/>
As this maiden passes to the end without a word</text>

        <text>Near To The Sky we live our lives<br/>
Under these skies herein<br/>
Near To The Sky we meet and greet<br/>
Under these skies we kin<br/>
<br/>
Koi swims in his muddy pool<br/>
But still so Near To The Sky.<br/>
Qilin prances in the clouds,<br/>
But oh so Near To The Sky<br/>
<br/>
Coyote song dog sings his solos<br/>
Near To The Sky of stars<br/>
Wolves in chorus resonate<br/>
Hear them near and far.<br/>
<br/>
Dragon West and Dragon East<br/>
Are all so Near To The Sky<br/>
Whether resting upon the ground,<br/>
Or soaring above to fly.<br/>
<br/>
Call us other, call us kin<br/>
All are Near To The Sky<br/>
All our lives and in our death,<br/>
Which all find by and by.<br/>

There's a place I know is true<br/>
And there I'll look for you<br/>
Beyond the yonder moon<br/>

Beyond the yonder moon<br/>
In a land we'll know so well<br/>
Where the stars that rose have fell<br/>
Beyond the yonder moon<br/>
<br/>
Beyond the yonder moon<br/>
Life as we know will fail<br/>
And all will cease to wail<br/>
Beyond the yonder moon<br/>

Beyond the yonder moon<br/>
There's a place I know is true<br/>
And there I'll look for you<br/>

        <title>A Dragon's Wish</title>
        <page_header></page_header>
        <text>A faint blue glow awakens me<br/>
I step outside so I may see<br/>
<br/>
The first light of day, foggy and still<br/>
The soft wind carries in a slight chill<br/>
<br/>
My eyes are blurred by a pleasent mist<br/>
I hold out my hand to feel its sweet kiss<br/>
<br/>
Dewdrops form on my hair and skin<br/>
This is the best time to be a dragon<br/>
<br/>
Without a second thought I spread my wings<br/>
&gt;From behind, a long tail springs<br/>
<br/>
Two horns on my head like a silver cap<br/>
Yet the fog doesn't swirl when my emerald wings flap<br/>
<br/>
My tail swings, but can't touch the grass<br/>
And straight through my hair the silver horns pass<br/>
<br/>
I raise my head and stare at the sky<br/>
More then anything, I wish I could fly<br/>
<br/>
Over the pastel clouds I would sail<br/>
With dragon claws, scales, wings, and tail<br/>
<br/>
I'd dive and dance in the morning light<br/>
Spinning and whirling, forgetting my plight<br/>
<br/>
I'd sing a dramatic mystical tune<br/>
Lift my head and roar my joy to the moon<br/>
<br/>
Alas, it's only a fantasy<br/>
I think it will never come to be<br/>
<br/>
You see, I am dragon only in spirit<br/>
And so never shall I fly, I fear it<br/>
<br/>
I'm still here standing in my front yard,<br/>
The sky now shining with rainbow shards<br/>
<br/>
As wind spirits play in my golden hair<br/>
I reluctantly return to my lair.</text>

        <title>Crossing Path</title>
        <page_header></page_header>
        <text>The air grows dim and darker still.<br/>
Time grows thin and all is killed<br/>
&quot;Bring forth He who came before<br/>
Bring forth him from lore&quot;<br/>
Crossing paths again today<br/>
Long fated, these tears of May<br/>
<br/>
The Night has fallen, and He is slain<br/>
The NIght has fallen. And he is slain<br/>
Night has fallen, they cry again.<br/>
Night has fallen, they kill all kin<br/>
Crossing paths in Drauch'thei mist<br/>
Long fated, tears thine gift<br/>
<br/>
Bugle cries his solemn note<br/>
Ringing cries of thines lost hope<br/>
Troubled times lost again<br/>
Somber times, forgotten kin<br/>
Crossing paths, we have failed<br/>
Long fated, missed those trails<br/>
<br/>
Common tongue tossed aside<br/>
To wrench free life's divine<br/>
Divinity slain with not but blade<br/>
Slain again...again today.<br/>
Crossing paths, all are gone<br/>
Long fated, this lonesome song<br/>
<br/>
&quot;Tra'hii! Tra'hii!&quot; they scream again<br/>
&quot;Traitor! Traitor! To the kin!&quot;<br/>
To chase and slay that warrior now<br/>
Bring him down! Calls call loud!<br/>
Crossing paths for lifes own sake<br/>
Long fated, my dream's awake<br/>
<br/>
Beaten, broken, tossed aside<br/>
Beaten, chastised for thines life<br/>
Beaten, broken, something gone<br/>
Beaten, broken, to not but song<br/>
Crossing paths failed Him now<br/>
Long fated to thines own vow<br/>
<br/>
&quot;Tra'hii! Tra'hii!&quot; they scream again<br/>
And turn to me...the remaining kin<br/>
&quot;Traitor! Traitor!&quot; shaking head<br/>
&quot;I am no such....let me live!&quot;<br/>
Crossing paths long fortold<br/>
Long fated on this world<br/>
<br/>
Eyes are cut, have been blinded,<br/>
Wings are slashed away, unflighted,<br/>
To the throat He places blade<br/>
And with one slash, I am slain<br/>
Crossing paths again must come<br/>
Long fated, bring me home<br/>
<br/>
To fall again, limp and dead<br/>
To fall again, a dragon's head<br/>
Taken life, the Gods reign free<br/>
Taken life, they have the key<br/>
Crossing paths, bring me home<br/>
Long fated, to thines shore<br/>
<br/>
&quot;Tra'hii....tra'hii&quot; I whisper now<br/>
&quot;They call me traitor.....what am I now&quot;<br/>
Breaths fall short, and life passes on<br/>
A dragons end. A dragons Song.<br/>
Crossing paths is what was done<br/>
Long fated beneath the Sun.<br/>
<br/>
Falling then, darkness filled<br/>
Consuming shadow, looming sin<br/>
Broken, blinded, I see not<br/>
Till shadow lifts and shows what's sought<br/>
Crossing paths do not happen here<br/>
Long fated, with no tear<br/>
<br/>
No words to aid a broken heart<br/>
No words to calm the troubled mind<br/>
No words to sing a lullaby<br/>
No words to put peace on thine<br/>
Crossing paths nevermore<br/>
Long fated on the shore<br/>
<br/>
A beacon dons the Night now<br/>
Small and dim, leading now<br/>
A beacon rises through the veil<br/>
Home arises when I failed<br/>
Crossing paths waits for all<br/>
Long fated, we all shall fall<br/>
<br/>
Silence still, looms strong and near<br/>
Till beacon shatters the silent fear<br/>
And I awake in screaming tears<br/>
And I awake to newborn fears<br/>
Crossing paths in a new world<br/>
Long fated at simple birth<br/>
<br/>
A soothing voice, later hated,<br/>
Coos and warms with milks sweet sated<br/>
Warmth of fluid brought by breast<br/>
Mammal? Yes, a humans feast<br/>
Crossing paths to the end<br/>
Long fated humble kin<br/>
<br/>
To grow from hence a humans life<br/>
Into who lives in constant strife<br/>
Broken yet loved by open arms<br/>
A dragons life in human harm<br/>
Crossing paths. I am here.<br/>
Long fated, whisper dear.<br/>
<br/>
Into who I am. A dragon true.<br/>
Loved by all and feared by few.<br/>
&quot;What have I become...&quot;<br/>
a whispered prayer<br/>
Crossing paths, answered here<br/>
Long fated, I am near<br/>
<br/>
Chained within, awaiting life<br/>
A simple being living in strife<br/>
Freedom. Safety. All seem far<br/>
To live in peace with my heart<br/>
Crossing paths grow closer now<br/>
Long fated in humbled frowns<br/>
<br/>
Crossing paths again today<br/>
Long fated, these tears of May<br/>
Crossing paths in Drauch'thei mist<br/>
Long fated, tears thines gift<br/>
I am dragon. Nothing more<br/>
I am dragon. Yet I lost. Forlorn.... </text>

        <page_header></page_header>
        <text>I stare at the stars, alone and afraid<br/>
Frightened by the night that has fallen<br/>
I watch as the moon, rises again<br/>
Frightened by the night that has come<br/>
<br/>
See me now, in my broken state<br/>
Tears strewn my mournful eyes<br/>
Hear me now, Lord above<br/>
I must ask through tears of pain<br/>
<br/>
Give me back my broken wings<br/>
Give me what I deserve<br/>
So I can fly, free again<br/>
Through the skies foretold<br/>
<br/>
I weep for what has fallen<br/>
Broken and deserted<br/>
I sing for what has been trodden<br/>
You speak and I have heard<br/>
<br/>
Brief eternity has come<br/>
Granting peace, but not for long<br/>
An unlasting fate, unwanted...<br/>
Give me My wings so I can go home<br/>
<br/>
Give me back my broken wings<br/>
Give me what I deserve<br/>
So I can fly free again<br/>
Through the skies foretold<br/>
<br/>
Hear me as I whisper<br/>
Hear me as I pray<br/>
&quot;Give me back my broken wings<br/>
So I can live again&quot;</text>

        <title>Revenge</title>
        <page_header></page_header>
        <text>I look out from my cave<br/>
Perched atop a high cliff<br/>
Across this great land<br/>
There is but one problem<br/>
<br/>
These things that taint the land<br/>
With their buildings<br/>
And tear away that which<br/>
Nature has made<br/>
<br/>
Slowly I can feel the change<br/>
They have torn the forest asunder<br/>
I now have to resort to<br/>
Hunting their cattle for food<br/>
<br/>
On this day I look out<br/>
Across this once beautiful land<br/>
I see them marching<br/>
Great numbers of them marching<br/>
<br/>
They march off to other places<br/>
They create more destruction<br/>
Against their own kind<br/>
I do not understand them<br/>
<br/>
I now fear them<br/>
They get closer to my home<br/>
I know they despise me<br/>
I see it everyday<br/>
<br/>
They look up at my cave<br/>
And curse with words unknown to me<br/>
I fear for not my own life<br/>
But the life of my family<br/>
<br/>
On this day I look out<br/>
Something catches my attention<br/>
The glistening of silver<br/>
The clanking of armor<br/>
<br/>
I look back inside in dismay<br/>
To my hatchlings and mate<br/>
I hear them approach closer<br/>
And closer<br/>
<br/>
The sound of metal unsheathing<br/>
Catches my attention<br/>
I see their shadows on the floor<br/>
I stand ready to die<br/>
<br/>
To die for the safety of my family<br/>
They enter the cave yelling<br/>
The hatchlings cower in fear<br/>
I bear my teeth in a last attempt<br/>
<br/>
It does not work<br/>
They swing at me with their weapons<br/>
I swing my claw at them<br/>
Taking one of the things down<br/>
<br/>
I have to resort to this<br/>
There is no other way<br/>
I rear back and open my mouth<br/>
Flames emerge from my mouth<br/>
<br/>
Incinerating all that was there<br/>
All that remains of them<br/>
Is their red hot armor<br/>
I look back at my family in fear<br/>
<br/>
I know that this will not stop<br/>
There is only one thing to do<br/>
Running away is not the answer<br/>
This is what I must do<br/>
<br/>
I leave the cave when it is all dark<br/>
My body lifts off of the ground<br/>
As my wings flap<br/>
I head to their buildings<br/>
<br/>
In several swoops it is done<br/>
The buildings burn with rage<br/>
I look back with a tear in my eye<br/>
But it had to be done<br/>
<br/>
I arrive back at my home<br/>
Look once more at the burning town<br/>
I lie down and look out the entrance<br/>
I can see the scarlet sky<br/>
<br/>
I will be branded as evil now<br/>
Seems quite ironic really<br/>
But I will keep fighting them<br/>
Just to protect my family. </text>

I was told that what I was suppose to be--<br/>
       Human, Human-ess<br/>
But why do I feel like something more,<br/>
        Like something less.<br/>

        <title>The Wrong Hunt</title>
        <page_header></page_header>
        <text>I sat in the brush<br/>
In a deep revered hush<br/>
I watched this day<br/>
For my intend prey<br/>
<br/>
The sweat rolled down<br/>
As I lay on the ground<br/>
Afraid of my task<br/>
And my painful mask<br/>
<br/>
For I had dark reason<br/>
For hunting this season<br/>
I needed the kill<br/>
But not for my fill<br/>
<br/>
I desired it&amp;#8217;s pain<br/>
I would not be tame<br/>
I planned to crush<br/>
As it trod through the lush<br/>
<br/>
Nothing would stop me<br/>
I did not care any fee<br/>
I was planning to avenge<br/>
For I sought revenge<br/>
<br/>
The beast most foul<br/>
Would pay oh how<br/>
For killing my brother<br/>
Tearing him asunder<br/>
<br/>
The quite did break<br/>
For a calm too fake<br/>
As it drew so near<br/>
Binging me fear<br/>
<br/>
Clenching in hand<br/>
My weapon of grand<br/>
I held my spear<br/>
I would hurt it dear<br/>
<br/>
It came so close<br/>
My heartache verbose<br/>
I yelled my pain<br/>
As it was slain<br/>
<br/>
I had struck the monster<br/>
Landed my blow on her<br/>
She now lay dieing<br/>
And I began sighing<br/>
<br/>
Then my eyes spied<br/>
Another did hide<br/>
It was just a child<br/>
An animal of the wild<br/>
<br/>
It looked at me alone<br/>
A dark seed I had sewn<br/>
I&amp;#8217;d done to this one<br/>
What the mother had done<br/>
<br/>
I&amp;#8217;d killed it&amp;#8217;s blood<br/>
My heart truly thud<br/>
For this one like me<br/>
Was no longer free<br/>
<br/>
The horror was shared<br/>
The darkness paired<br/>
Such torment inside<br/>
My soul&amp;#8217;s divide<br/>
<br/>
I wished not to leave<br/>
With it&amp;#8217;s mother to grieve<br/>
The monster not evil<br/>
Did not deserve upheaval<br/>
<br/>
She&amp;#8217;d had not intent<br/>
No nefarious bent<br/>
She&amp;#8217;d fear for her child<br/>
Our threat was not mild<br/>
<br/>
Take it from I<br/>
Just let yourself cry<br/>
Do not intend bad<br/>
Over the sad<br/>
<br/>
How can we know<br/>
What doesn&amp;#8217;t show<br/>
If we give in to hate<br/>
If we do not wait<br/>
<br/>
My actions condemn<br/>
I the monster now am<br/>
Once a brother scarred<br/>
Now a demon so marred</text>

It&amp;#8217;s a dragon lookin&amp;#8217; in, I&amp;#8217;m lookin&amp;#8217; out<br/>
That&amp;#8217;s what I am, what I want to be<br/>
A dragon, with a body of power,<br/>
Wings of flight,<br/>
Pure magic, and might!<br/>
<br/>
When I wander my mind during the day<br/>
He surfaces; wings, tail, and all!<br/>
My mind is his, his mind - mine<br/>
I can feel those wings and tail<br/>
As if they were mine&amp;#8230;<br/>
I feel&amp;#8230;whole&amp;#8230;<br/>
<br/>
Stand here in the window of my soul<br/>
You can see, what I want to be&amp;#8230;<br/>
<br/>
Maybe someday, there will be a way<br/>
To break the window genetically,<br/>
But it won&amp;#8217;t happen in this life<br/>
I should know, not to hope,<br/>
For my wings and power<br/>
Because that day will be<br/>
After I die&amp;#8230;<br/>
And I know&amp;#8230;<br/>
And I know&amp;#8230;<br/>
<br/>
I should be on the outside lookin&amp;#8217; in<br/>
So I can turn my back on them <br/>
And fly away&amp;#8230;<br/>
<br/>
But no amount of research is gonna grow my wings today<br/>
<br/>
I&amp;#8217;m on the inside lookin&amp;#8217; out<br/>
I&amp;#8217;m a dragon on the inside&amp;#8230;wanting out<br/>
It wants to be on the outside<br/>
It wants to&amp;#8230;be&amp;#8230;<br/>
Free!</text>

        <page_header></page_header>
        <text>Awaken, dear one<br/>
For the sun is rising<br/>
And casting its warmth<br/>
Upon your dreaming form<br/>
<br/>
Beckoning you<br/>
To depart the endless world of your dreams<br/>
And tuck them away<br/>
To revisit another night<br/>
<br/>
Because the world waits for you<br/>
To open up your sleepy eyes<br/>
And behold the day&amp;#8217;s first light<br/>
The skies so soft with gold<br/>
The earth shimmering with the dew<br/>
<br/>
All yearn to see your face<br/>
To gaze into those dreaming eyes<br/>
So calm and true<br/>
Like the furthest horizon<br/>
The Eternity that is you<br/>
<br/>
All about the glorious music<br/>
Of a thousand singing birds<br/>
Christens the birth<br/>
Of another blessed day<br/>
<br/>
Your soul stirring<br/>
From its slumber<br/>
To listen to the melody<br/>
That is the deepest breath of life&amp;#8230;<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
&amp;#8230;Arise, dear one<br/>
For the day is dawning<br/>
And you are called<br/>
Into [i]Creation[/i]</text>

        <title>Believe!</title>
        <page_header></page_header>
        <text>  I stand here before you in all my glory,<br/>
  And still you disbelieve !<br/>
  I fan out my wings and move the wind,<br/>
  Do senses then deceive ?<br/>
<br/>
  You feel my breath, and smell it too !<br/>
  Yet you're still filled with doubt.<br/>
  Are you a sentient creature man ?<br/>
  Or just a sodden lout ?<br/>
<br/>
  The breach between our lives is much,<br/>
  Your own are so damned short.<br/>
  We wander about the heavens above,<br/>
  You scratch your lives from earth.<br/>
<br/>
  So rarely do you raise your eyes,<br/>
  To SEE what's in the sky.<br/>
  You're focused only on your shoes,<br/>
  Such wonders pass you by.<br/>
<br/>
  Those brief and rare encounters,<br/>
  Are passed off as dreams and fancy<br/>
  Denial of life's wondrous things<br/>
  Or found to be too chancy.<br/>
<br/>
  So quiet desperation, holds,<br/>
  Your lives within its claws.<br/>
  You shudder at the fear of death,<br/>
  At its approaching maw.<br/>
<br/>
  So why not revel in your lives,<br/>
  Though short they burn so bright.<br/>
  Around us all is darkness, yet<br/>
  You fill it up with light.<br/>
<br/>
  Cast off your dour faces,<br/>
  Raise up your gaze in joy.<br/>
  Observe us soaring in the skies,<br/>
  Yell out. We'll hear. &quot;Ahoy !&quot;<br/>
<br/>
  We're eager to be social,<br/>
  One can't have enough friends.<br/>
  Remembering each other long,<br/>
  After we've found our ends.<br/>
<br/>
  So when you're sleeping in the sand,<br/>
  Our good times I'll recall.<br/>
  And smile for your memory,<br/>
  Yes you, you're warts and all.<br/>
<br/>
  So break out past your paradigms,<br/>
  Let's fill the world with laughter.<br/>
  Believe in us or doubt us,<br/>
  We're here and we're hereafter.</text>

        <title>Saved by Dragonwings</title>
        <page_header></page_header>
        <text>As I step through the valley of despair,<br/>
The moon and stars staring coldly down at me.<br/>
Sadness following me,<br/>
Like a wild beast upon it's prey.<br/>
<br/>
The fire of hope<br/>
Has been extinguished by the cold touch of despair.<br/>
The future ahead looks as bleak<br/>
As the stark, cold wasteland before my feet.<br/>
<br/>
Just when I think all is lost,<br/>
A beacon of hope appears in the sky,<br/>
Shining brighter than the morning sun,<br/>
As it approaches me.<br/>
<br/>
He lands smoothly before me on strong, sturdy feet,<br/>
His powerful wings settle behind him,<br/>
Eyes sparkling like diamonds,<br/>
My guardian dragon has arrived.<br/>
<br/>
&quot;Come&quot;, he says to me, &quot;you do not belong here&quot;<br/>
He gently lifts me onto his back,<br/>
And says &quot;hold on&quot;.<br/>
We take off into the dark sky.<br/>
<br/>
As his wings take us higher,<br/>
the sun rises with us.<br/>
And in my heart, new feelings of joy rise like with the sun,<br/>
Though I don't know why.<br/>
<br/>
We fly on, and then I see<br/>
A lake, shininglike a diamond, a forest emerald green,<br/>
And a beach, sand as whitle as new fallen snow,<br/>
My dragon says &quot;this is where you belong&quot;.<br/>
<br/>
We land on the warm sands,<br/>
and with a delighted shout,<br/>
I see my dear friends and family rush towards me,<br/>
Joy floods my sould like never before.<br/>
<br/>
My guardian dragon beams down at me,<br/>
He has saved me,<br/>
He has ended my sadness,<br/>
brought me to friends,<br/>
rekindled the fire of hope within me,<br/>
And he's done it all,<br/>
On Dragonwings. </text>

darker than darkest night,<br/>
I can see nothing,<br/>
I lost.<br/>
<br/>
The shadow wings touched me,<br/>
embraced me, warmed me,<br/>
trapped me, bound me,<br/>
within the darkness.<br/>
Yet I felt happy and warm.<br/>
<br/>
Suddenly it gone,<br/>
the warmness of the wings,<br/>
I cried for it, struggled to find it.<br/>
Nothing work.<br/>
The wings leaved me.<br/>
<br/>
I'm trapped, bound, and lost.<br/>
I had lost before,<br/>
but now I'm bound within the darkness,<br/>
unable to move,<br/>
unable to find my way out.<br/>
<br/>
The wings, please...</text>

I had chained within the darkness,<br/>

I was trapped.<br/>

The chain had gone now.<br/>
Under the light of stars I now am.<br/>

        <title>First Flight</title>
        <page_header></page_header>
        <text>As the sun climbs slowly upward,<br/>
o'er the mountains and the valley.<br/>
With it rises a young dragon,<br/>
stirring from the depths of sleep.<br/>
<br/>
Then came o'er the dragon's father,<br/>
smiling down at the young dragon.<br/>
&quot;Oh my son, you now are ready.<br/>
Today's the day you learn to fly.&quot;<br/>
<br/>
So, together, son and father,<br/>
depart from their mountain stronghold.<br/>
To a field, green as emeralds,<br/>
where all young dragons learn to fly.<br/>
<br/>
Then begins this vital lesson,<br/>
father teaching, young dragon, learning.<br/>
And after many trials end in failure,<br/>
he hangs his head in exaspiration.<br/>
<br/>
&quot;Oh my father, I cannot do it&quot;.<br/>
Tears well up in his bright green eyes.<br/>
&quot;I'll never learn, I'll never get to<br/>
experience the joy of flight.&quot;<br/>
<br/>
Then speaks up the older dragon,<br/>
full of wisdom from many a flight.<br/>
&quot;Young dragon, try once more,<br/>
and remember, the power of flight comes from the soul&quot;.<br/>
<br/>
So the dragon, hoping, praying,<br/>
closes his eyes and sees himself,<br/>
in majestic flight, swooping, diving, climbing upwards,<br/>
seeing the smile on his father's face.<br/>
<br/>
Then, the young dragon opens his eyes,<br/>
and sees the ground far below him.<br/>
With joy welling up inside him,<br/>
his father roars in pride.<br/>
<br/>
The dragon lands beside his father,<br/>
Legs trembling, grinning broadly.<br/>
&quot;Young dragon, you have done it!<br/>
You have finished your first flight&quot;!</text>

        <page_header></page_header>
        <text>When life hands me more than I can handle,<br/>
A one-two punch, to try and knock me down.<br/>
I have you, the dragon spirit inside me,<br/>
To pick me up, whenever I fall down.<br/>
<br/>
You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains.<br/>
You raise me up, to soar across the sky.<br/>
I am strong, when you are here inside me.<br/>
You make me whole, the best that I can be.<br/>
<br/>
When I am lost, when I am low and weary,<br/>
You're always there, a force of strength and pride.<br/>
And when the odds are fully stacked against me,<br/>
We join hands, spread our wings and fly.<br/>
<br/>
You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains.<br/>
You raise me up, to soar across the sky.<br/>
I am strong, when you are here inside me.<br/>
You make me whole, the best that I can be.<br/>
<br/>
And although I may not understand you,<br/>
Or where you're from, or why you're inside me.<br/>
The thing I know, the thing that is most certain,<br/>
A dragon now, and forever I will be.</text>

        <title>The Call</title>
        <page_header></page_header>
        <text>The sky calls<br/>
Can you hear it ?<br/>
Yes, even in your very bones<br/>
You do.<br/>
Who among the children of the sky cannot ?<br/>
Your wings itch to be full of the wind<br/>
Your tail cries out, to float over the open sky<br/>
<br/>
And your heart<br/>
Your heart<br/>
It is ready to sing<br/>
To cry out loud, and answer<br/>
&quot;I hear your call and I come&quot;<br/>
<br/>
Eager legs shiver with adrenaline<br/>
Moments pass and then none more can be borne<br/>
You spring aloft, wings snapping open<br/>
And in that same motion, completing their first wing beat<br/>
<br/>
And then<br/>
Then you fly<br/>
You fly on high<br/>
and make love to the wind<br/>
which kisses your supple scales<br/>
from nose to tail<br/>
<br/>
And aloft<br/>
You nestle as you soar<br/>
In the loving gentle hands of God<br/>
The one who gave you to the sky<br/>
And the sky to you<br/>
<br/>
From your long capacious throat erupts<br/>
The sound of your joy<br/>
The voice HE gave you<br/>
You wheel and soar aloft<br/>
You are where you belong<br/>
You are home</text>

        <title>Letting Go</title>
        <page_header></page_header>
        <text>A peacful morn along the seaside,<br/>
Waves gently lapping at the cliffes above.<br/>
A dragon family stirs and wakens,<br/>
Just as they have on mornings past.<br/>
<br/>
But today is different.<br/>
Today is a time of sadness, yet a time of joy.<br/>
A time for tears, a time for reflections of the past.<br/>
Today, a young dragon leaves the nest.<br/>
<br/>
The dragon mates look at each other,<br/>
With eyes filled with sadness.<br/>
Their young dragon must leave today.<br/>
He cannot grow, unless they let go.<br/>
<br/>
Day by day, they have cared for him,<br/>
Teaching him all they know.<br/>
The pride, the wisdom, the joy of dragons.<br/>
It's time to let him go.<br/>
<br/>
These days end today.<br/>
Soon, they will just be a memory.<br/>
Fading away,<br/>
As the sun does each night.<br/>
<br/>
They know it has to be,<br/>
But that doesn't stop the pain.<br/>
Who knows what the future holds,<br/>
For their beloved young dragon?<br/>
<br/>
The sun is setting, the time has come!<br/>
So, with one final nuzzle between parents and son,<br/>
The young dragon takes off on powerful wings,<br/>
Soaring into the sunset.<br/>
<br/>
There can be no looking back, he must fly on,<br/>
Further and further into the sunset.<br/>
Away from his beloved mother, father, and home.<br/>
Into hte cold depths of the unknown.<br/>
<br/>
Do not despair my dragon friends!<br/>
For your connection knows no boundraies!<br/>
Even greater than love itself,<br/>
For you are dragon, whose spirit and friendships can never be broken,<br/>
Even by distance or death.<br/>
<br/>
Do not be saddened, loving dragon pair.<br/>
You have taught you son all he needs.<br/>
And perhaps one day, he will finally return,<br/>
Having accomplished many a feat.<br/>
<br/>
And finally for you, my young dragon friend,<br/>
As you stare at your life straight ahead.<br/>
While this journey is over, the sun has now set,<br/>
At daylight, a new one begins!</text>

Help me to my land defend<br/>

Hear my sacred battle cry<br/>
Abide by our trusting creed<br/>
Come to me during time of need<br/>

We shall stand together in the rough<br/>
And there prove we are truly tough<br/>
Thou art the truest one I know<br/>
Stand with me wherever I should go<br/>
<br/>
Desperate times are these<br/>
That men face with shaking knees<br/>
Stand by me during battles fought<br/>
Hold me against what the weather brought<br/>
<br/>
I ask so much of you<br/>
Because I know your heart is true<br/>
You are the one I trust<br/>
When all the rest turns to dust</text>

        <title>That Tiny Touch Of Heaven</title>
        <page_header>Composed some years ago in a webforum which no longer exists.<br/>
Members and the owner were engaging in an argument about which among them was the biggest and baddest character.<br/>
I found it silly at first and later annoying as it became protracted.<br/>
This was my response.</page_header>
        <text>They are not necessarily metallic, or red, or green or blue,<br/>
A totally other dragon, of a very mystic hue.<br/>
<br/>
They are the Sons of Heaven, and to Heaven owe their due,<br/>
From the Emperor of Heaven, do these dragons take their cue.<br/>
<br/>
And their powers are divided, as responsiblitity.<br/>
Over sky, or cloud or mountain, or lake or stream or sea.<br/>
<br/>
So the dragons all may argue over who's the strongest brute,<br/>
Yet the strongest on a mountain top, may rest and play a flute.<br/>
<br/>
While below on less celestial planes, they rend themselves to shreds,<br/>
The dragons who should take the time, and hie to cooler heads.<br/>
<br/>
For there's more to being 'Dragon', than just being big and bad,<br/>
Why dissappoint the Emperor, and make the Master sad ?<br/>
<br/>
For within each dragon soul there is, a gift no dragon earns,<br/>
That Tiny Touch of Heaven, that lets dragons brightly burn.<br/>
<br/>
So when dragon vanity shines bright, and snobbery prevails,<br/>
Recall the Emperor observes, our heads our souls our tails.</text>

        <title>Always Going Home</title>
        <page_header></page_header>
        <text>Last night I had that dream again<br/>
Once more I had my wings<br/>
Aloft I journeyed through the sky<br/>
I passed so many things<br/>
<br/>
I was all destination<br/>
Focused where I go<br/>
Eager for arriving<br/>
Never moving slow<br/>
<br/>
And so I labored through the night<br/>
My wings received no rest<br/>
My gaze a tunnel vision view<br/>
My task a trying test<br/>
<br/>
And in that distance in my mind<br/>
Beyond the sharp horizon<br/>
The endless night ate up the hours<br/>
As starlight made scales glisten<br/>
<br/>
For out there somewhere is a place<br/>
From sight but not from mind<br/>
Where memories yet live and sing<br/>
And I can find my kind.<br/>
<br/>
And there we soar, and love and sing<br/>
In balmy breezy skies<br/>
Is it any wonder then<br/>
How vig'rously I fly<br/>
<br/>
A place and time so far away.<br/>
Some say it can't be reached<br/>
But I shall get there anyhow<br/>
Though light and life be breached<br/>
<br/>
And in that distant place<br/>
With flesh from spirit sundered<br/>
When all that can be taken<br/>
Is then gone and wholly plundered<br/>
<br/>
And though mayhap my barren bones<br/>
May bleach beneath some sun<br/>
I'll know when I have gotten there<br/>
And then I shall have won<br/>
<br/>
So forests, seas and mountains<br/>
All pass by so far below<br/>
But they don't matter anymore<br/>
I know where I must go.<br/>
<br/>
Yet I can't show you on a map<br/>
It never has been charted<br/>
Nor can I cease my journey<br/>
No, not now that I've started<br/>
<br/>
For someday I shall get there<br/>
I know this in my soul<br/>
I'm only marking time here<br/>
I've one singular goal.<br/>
<br/>
I'm here, I'm there, I'm wandering<br/>
How vastly do I roam<br/>
But all I'm doing all the time ?<br/>
I'm always going home<br/>
<br/>
*<br/>
***<br/>
*<br/>
<br/>
So has your spirit left your flesh<br/>
To ride unearthly wing ?<br/>
Have you crossed the firmament<br/>
To hope and oft to sing ?<br/>
<br/>
And is your heart, your soul, your flesh<br/>
Bent on one dream alone.<br/>
When you fly I ask you are you<br/>
Always Going Home ?<br/>
<br/>
Then take what comfort that you can<br/>
You are not on your own<br/>
For every night, we each of us.<br/>
Are Always Going Home.</text>

        <page_header></page_header>
        <text>Remember your god:<br/>
<br/>
I am soaring under endless skies<br/>
The beat of wings so powerful<br/>
Crush the wind and make it mine<br/>
<br/>
The sun will kneel before me<br/>
As I mount the world below<br/>
My flames to be forever seen<br/>
<br/>
I lift up the hearts of men<br/>
And take them with me<br/>
To the clouds that are my den<br/>
<br/>
Ever have they worshiped power<br/>
And I am their silver god<br/>
A shining idol in my tower<br/>
<br/>
But I am made to fly low<br/>
They disbelieve in me<br/>
They keep their gold in tow<br/>
<br/>
Money has become their god<br/>
And I have been left<br/>
In swamps, feeding on goldenrod<br/>
<br/>
They have forgotten their sire<br/>
Who made them in good will<br/>
And they have put out his fire<br/>
<br/>
But they will believe again<br/>
For I will rise anew<br/>
And their gods will fear my reign<br/>
<br/>
For I am the dragon, the undying<br/>
Eternal and without flaw<br/>
And man ever longs to go flying<br/>
<br/>
And upon my back he shall fulfill his dreams<br/>
For I do not forget, but I forgive<br/>
And I shall bear him into the sky again with pleasure<br/>
But first he must believe.</text>
