Dragon’s Breath

Floating on an emerald plain among the standing stones,

a ghostly moon is rising up, invading hearts and souls.

A grassy plain secures the path that winds between the downs.

Among the souls of warriors, we face the great unknown.

It’s a dragon’s breath that moves the world  and starlight winds that guide us.

Lightning cracks  the midnight sky to reveal the path inside.

The road ahead lies in a haze, the path behind is clear.

Love weaves a braided tapestry that documents the year.

Beneath the wide expanse of sky, we live out desperate lives,

spending small eternities within a soulmate’s eyes.

It’s a dragon’s breath that moves the world and starlight winds that guide us.

Lightning cracks the midnight sky to reveal the path inside.

Spirits of the cowardly lurk in a dark abyss

and work to turn the hero back with a serpent’s hiss.

A mote of dust becomes a world by spinning out of time,

beyond the vast reaches of space, a universal sigh.

It’s a dragon’s breath that moves the world and starlight winds that guide us.

Lightning cracks the midnight sky and reveals the path inside.
