They came about, in dark of night

Thumping, hear them in their flight

With the dawning of a sleepy sky

Majestic wings, powerfully fly

Down to where, without a care

They blaze a fire, beyond compare

Igniting the skies, with flames of gold

Yes, these are tales most often told

Of how the beasts once slayed the land

With fiery hearts and wings that spanned

Across the skies, their ill-tempered display

Three mighty dragons, who seized the day

A light down a darkened path
beckons me to follow
As I approach
it flickers
making me stop, wait

Again it calls
I continue forward
not knowing what lies beyond
the blackness that settles around me

A light so bright, yet not
I cannot see past it
My eyes play tricks
seeing only what my mind allows
Fantasy settles in

It lures me
and I walk, following
unaware that I am pursuing
My darkest dreams
my biggest fears

I turn around, afraid
and find nothing
but the darkness in which I began
Yet sounds and shadows engulf me
in a sensory overload

And I freeze, unable to comprehend
all that is there
and not
Only to realize my existence
in my own imagination

Afraid to Fly ~ #poetry of #life

Alone and lost amid verdant ground,

High upon the wood, I’m found, looking

For ones who look like me, the ones

Who form my family, for without them,

I’d just gaze about, wondering

What my life’s about, afraid to climb

To soaring heights, afraid that maybe

I just might, fail to spread my wings and fly,

Fail to find the reason why, I was left here,

By myself, a lonely bird, upon a shelf

Paths will disappear

Only from those unwilling

To challenge their faith
