Warmth

I have a fondness for dragons. I collect them and write about them.

Cold
It’s that – outside
And in my cave.
You cannot see me shiver
Because of the black darkness
Around me.
Warmth I crave
Warmth I need in my soul.

Fire
It’s that – I breathe
Upon my flesh.
Bringing little warmth
But better than none.
Burning flesh
To ease
What I alone cannot quench.

Dragons
It’s that – lonely
Breed of characters.
They seek their own
For that deep warmth
Or they burn with the
Coldness of loneliness.
Until Dragon meets Dragon.

I have certainly felt like this. Very good.

I’m picking up the “Dragons” part of this theme. While not so specifically oriented, I love fantasy tales. I invented for myself an imaginary place of happiness back when I was learning to meditate. You’ll find my response posted as “Inner Spaces”.

The warmest of hearts can be the loneliest indeed.

I guess, two dragons can warm each other in many ways. (wink)

I really like this poem. I read it before, but could not comment. Does it take another dragon, or could a fire sword dancer warm things up??? Inquiring minds and all that . . .
