~you must be~


I am the dragon of earth ~planet~

I am one of dull brown, rocky grey

I am one who makes the deserts,

Who holds the roots of mountains ~solidity~


I am the dragon of water ~the sea~

I am one of deep green, clear turquoise

I am one who gives you dreams of the oceans,

Who drowns sailors, and sends them home ~unpredictable~


I am the dragon of air ~atmosphere~

I am one of misty white and clear nothingness

I am one who gives you your lives

Who can steal the very breath from your lungs ~subtle~


I am the dragon of fire ~flames!~

I am one of smoldering red and fiery gold

I am one who can change things, remove things,

And leave destruction behind ~obliterate~


I am the dragon of darkness ~nothing~

I am one of solid ebony and thick obsidian

I am one who can terrify,

Who leaves you to night’s horrors ~nightmare~


I am the dragon of light ~heavens~

I am the one who holds your soul in my wings,

I am one who shall protect you

Who shall never let you come to any more harm. ~be at peace~


~choose now, you mortal, for who shall you fly with?~
