a poem dedicated to all shards of Dragon
Singing her song flittering, fluttering
Musical in rhythm with the drumming
Of dragon’s heart
Rumm, rumble, rumm
Thumm, drum, thrum
“Why do you sing such high and low song?”
Says Dragon.
Singing, trillling and smiles
Moving, swaying tipping on the tiles
In the wind of Dragon’s breath
“How do your feet move so lightly?”
Questions Dragon
Smiling in the song
Leaning arms out and long
Touching Dragon
Rumm, rumble, rumm
Thumm, drum, thrum
“AH!OH!”
Exclaims Dragon
Fingers soft along the hard scale
Touching and sliding along the veil
Between Dragon and spiral
“please continue the song and move of spiral”
Asks Dragon
Trilling high with a whistle nigh
Stepping low into light
Beckoning Dragon. Come.
“may I dance with you in the spiral?”
Asks Dragon
Smile, tail swishing, nails glistening
Hair blending, veil twisting
Into the veil, gone
“I’m coming!”
Thunders Dragon
Rumm, rumble, rumm
Thumm, drum, thrum

Sitting on the pier, with her bare feet swishing in water, little fishes nibbling at her toes. She looks down into the reflection in the water. The ripples swirling and abstracting her image. She listens to the frogs, crickets, the trees and the opposome walking in the brush. There is a stillness in the movement. She hears distantly the song, right on the edge of her hearing. The Rumm, rumble, rumm, thrum, drum, thrum of a dragon’s heart. She smiles and watches as the image in the water, but only slightly, distantly reminds her of the dance. This form is so delightfully different.
Will Dragon recognize me?
What fun we will have dancing in this form!
**
She smiles and hums to the Rumm, rumble, rumm, thumm, drum, thrum of a Dragons heart.
