Dragons
In early years when I was but a child,
The legion of the dragons was a myth.
Of fi’res from the furnace of their breath,
The stirring from the windings of their wings.
Once magic was the summit of a range
From where a lizard king did spill a verse,
And filled the San Fernando with his song
About a wing’ed wizard’s spirit curse.
But now I’m off the coast of Cali south,
The fierce Santana winds are hot and dry.
As fi’res that I see rage through the brush
While every creature races to the beach.
Is this the work of dragons hithermost
By which a hoary master summons forth.
Are not the ancient ones all died away,
Their fading memories a simple ghost.

I love this poem, it feels like a 90' movie. I can just imagine the sunset and feel the wind and the warmth. Very beautiful. ♥

Re: Re. Dragons
Such a connecting comment, dear brother Soul. I’m grateful for your company and your thoughts. I’m a little under the weather lately due to an eye injury. It has slowed me way down, hard to see to write & comment as it’s also painful. Btw, someone says hello, missing you due to the lockdown. We can only stay in touch by phone, haven’t seen each other for almost 6 weeks I think.
Be well & safe🐲

Those Santa Ana winds...(coincidentally was a marching drum corps/bad based out of Orange County, I chickened out of the audition at the last minute)...
The devil winds.
Great story Jade!
