Another Lonely Mile
Chasing after dragons always ends badly
It’s pride that needs to conquer the beast
Morrison is singing about loving her madly
Strange creatures interrupt a zombie feast
Skeleton key opens these forbidden doors
What ever walks through can’t be returned
Aggravating balance is reopening old sores
Another lonely mile equals wisdom earned

Midnight's the best time to have the mind do it's wandering,
especially when the moon is high, and the music low:)

I always admired men who integrated rather than dominated their dragon spirit. Maybe it's my initial love for "Puff, the Magic Dragon" - maybe not.
Enjoyed this, Damian.

Re. Another Lonely Mile
Feels cyclical this scribe .. with it’s need for a brave pride n mad love .. that i feel as pure uncompromising passion n truth .. in place of desperate stealth ways of achieving or growing self unto anything big or worthwhile.. lived what Ahavati said of integration or that inclusiveness of the one unto self .. feels a defining love . the pain in loads without love , makes one turn wise hopefully.. your pithy scribe evokes more such depths Damian dear friend .. Hinduism gods have their own tamed or integrated vehicular animals or their vahanas.. in their avatar .. Kali with lion , Muruga with Peacock , Shiva & the Nandi bull, Ganesha with mouse, Vishnu with primal serpent etc.. etc. Excuse my blabberstions;) Excellent scribe n sorta streaming consciousness sx

Hello Damian,
This short piece by you has the effect of a riddle. Your words juggled up into the magicians hat to see what emerges from it. When re reading one can find out yet another detail. An inspiring morning read for me! Greetings and blessings, Rianne
