Magnificent in color and size
A creature so feared for no reason at all
But yet, a sight for the sore eyes
By the men who would watch you fall
Colours of orange yellow and red
Taller than the tallest mountain
It has been said
That you will roam the earth once again
Wings large enough to cover our city
A face ravaged by man and time
Eyes so beautiful, full of pity
A soul older than most and ever so kind
There was a tale from long ago
That states you will once again live
In the form of those who turn rain to snow
But you will be one who has so much to give
As your figure takes to the skies
The setting sun’s painting in the clouds
Is your shield from a world full of lies
Spread your wings and leave the ground
Blessed with a heart so strong and loving
Cursed to live hunted and forced into exile
Given a mind ever so smart and cunning
While the humans live in fear and denial
Words from the mouth of a broken race
Actions of hate bring forth your demise
A creature with such elegance and grace
Brought to your knees by hatred and lies
Little did the humans know
That a world without a dragon
Is a world covered in thick snow
Where the humans will run themselves ragged
But you will return again someday
In the form of those who broke you down
To show them how to live another way
But for now your spirit flies in the sunset clouds
