"Dance of the Dragon"

dancing with the dragon
flying high upon his wings
a gasp of exhalation
at the wonder of these things

she takes strong hold of his hand
as he suddenly takes flight
wings beating in slow rythum
as he soars into the night

up into the heavens
to dance among the stars
gasing at the moon
to Venus, Jupiter and Mars

she whispers a sigh of thanksgiving
with delightful wonderment upon her face
and childlike grins and laughter
as they dance from place to place

he plucks a star from the night
with it he adorns her hair
he smiles at the womanchild
as it shines brightly there

soaring through the heavens
wrapped tightly in his arms
trembling with anticipation
not afraid of any harm

He flies with such magical grace
as they dance the Dragon's dance
she wonders if it was before
or if by happenstance.

That maybe they were here
and danced this dance before
up into the night sky
to stand at heaven's door.

and then as quickly
as when they were at the start
he whispers  quietly
that now it is the time to part

M''lady
as the sun begins to rise
Dragon's wings will dissappear
as a mist into the skies.

he slowly carries her down to earth
places her on the ground
he looks into her eyes
and brushes stardust from her gown

As he turns to walk away
his tears fall onto the land
she bends to touch the moistness there
as finds diamonds in her hand

And as he slowly fades away
she pleads him not to depart
with her own tears, she cries
Do not leave me, Dragonheart.

His sad eyes meet with hers
he whispers, this must be
but we will dance again, M'lady
you will always be with me.
