Sleeping Dragon

The dragon awakens
    The great lizard speaks

Fear grips a trembling heart as massive wings take flight

Heat engaged
Green flames to yellows and orange
All ends up gray

The ash floats and coats
A thin layer settles
The sun is dark
A child crying for mother is heard in the distance

The beast has ears
    The child's sobs cease in a chilling instant

Woe is the name of the dragon
   Humans are nothing more than food and pain

None can sleep an eternity

The dragon awakens with a shrill roar piercing the day

Remembering glory past when kin ruled the sky

Only fire and pain now
Dragon days numbered
Hunted and aging
Wicked and fleeing
Tis no where to run nor fly

Facing fate
    The beast blazes its rememberance

Should not we forget
    Lest the beast should awaken o
