An Unexpected Dragon - InkSpot.Com

About This Author

A changeling spirit,
constantly evolving,
revolving around an inner core,
spinning forth legend and lore,
stories and lives
as I come to grips
with who and what I am,
have been and may be.
I am a phoenix:
rising ever above and beyond!

An Unexpected Dragon

An unexpected dragon rears its head,
eyes whirling to crimson slits yet
baiting its breath. Waiting.

An unexpected dragon erupts,
wings unfurled, tightly restrained from flight;
taut, prepared.

An unexpected dragon emerges,
claws unfurled; ready, willing
to filet. Listening.

An unexpected dragon roars,
breath tinged with banked fires,
willing to incinerate. Yet patient.

Looking at me, listening to me,
the unsuspecting are too blind to see
who I truly am.

Their misfortune.
