There is a dragon in my tree
I found it just today
It’s been lingering there for generations
Subliminally, controlling my life, I’d say.
~
~
It danced within my dreams
And haunted my ancestors of old
It created some battlefields
Thriving when we were brazenly bold
~
It dined on our fruits of discord
It devoured the meat off the bone
It smoked an elegant cigarette
While sitting on my father’s thrown
~
The dragon stole our family love
It burned away bonding ties
Gulping down any charity
Our humanity left in lies
~
~
The dragon wears a mask
Pretending to be a friend
Dressed in a cloak of disguise
Smirking behind all chagrin
~
The day you discover the dragon
because it’s already found you
A sword you will need to don
All fondness dies when it’s slew
~
~
There’s a dragon over your bed
It came while innocent slept
It played in your fairy tales
It departs when you’ve finally met
~
Bravely casting the beast down
Tis’ the hardest task to do
But, playing with wild demon dragons
Costs, perhaps, the bonnie, likes of you

Found your dragon picture. How very, very cool! I couldn’t imagine how you took a picture of one. 😉

Lisa, I had no idea that the dragon was in the fire pic. It was later, like the next day, that I discovered it with awe….
I’ve searched for anyone who could give me any insight about why and the meaning, buy so far, no one can really say. I’ve had everything from it is good to evil…So, if you have any thoughts about it, please, let me know.. And, thank you for looking!

I think it’s a really cool picture that could be used as inspiration for a story or poem. I would hesitate to attach any more significance to it.
