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.
