Lazy Dragon

                 Lazy Dragon


            My dragon has been sleeping in lately;
            lazing in bed, not awake, not asleep  
            yawning, stretching a jeweled wing, turning over
            closing his eyes, snoring smoky curlicues
            not quite dreaming the night
            not quite planning the day;
            hanging out.


            Stay in bed, dragon, at least for now
            get your dreamy creamy rest, you need it
            especially after yesterday.
            And what a day that was, dragon!
            Half asleep, you grin, your fangs show
            and you remember.


            You remember flying.
            You remember fighting.
            You remember breathing fire.
            You remember being wonder, being glory
            being beauty, power and terror.
            How magnificent you were, dragon,
            how hot and furious
            how exhausting...


            My dragon has been sleeping in lately;
            get your dreamy creamy rest, dragon, you need it
            so that when you wake up
            you can wake
            All the way up.
