From my dream I awaken, or have I?
Rubbing my eyes to clear the mist of dreams
A voice breaks the dark silence, beckoning me
“Come to me…I am your protector”
My body trembles but I move forward
Slow footsteps upon the mist covered ground.
Darkness surrounds me
My heart pounding within my chest
As I draw nearer, my eyes focus on the darkness ahead
Within the mist, a shadowed outline appears
A voice echoes thru the mist
“Come closer…do not be afraid”
As if by magic, the form takes shape in front of my eyes
Long talons, glimmering scales, folded wings
Eyes glowing red, like the heart of a fire
Before me, perched upon a rock, sits a regal black dragon
I step back at the sight of him. Fear covers me
His mere presence has taken hold of me
Swept up in the embrace of his power
I tremble as I try to speak
What do you want with me, I ask him
Why have you called me here?
An evil smile spreads across his face
You do not know? I’ve been waiting for you.
Fear grips my heart…waiting for me?
He looks upon me seeing thru me with those piercing eyes
Words dripping from his mouth like venom as his wings unfold
I have come to you every night in your dreams
Yet you did not come, you turned away
I had almost given up on you
I watch you every night and see how your soul calls out
Wanting the pain to go away, and I have called to you
Trying to let you know that I am your protector
The Lord of your being
The one who will bring you peace.
But you are a dragon, I say as I look upon him
Am I? He says as a smirk crosses his lips
Maybe this is the form I choose for now
Do you not find me enticing; does your heart not race?
I can see into your soul. I know your desires.
My body trembles as I try to speak
Trust him with my soul?
Something that is so fragile and all but lost
I raise my eyes to him, quieting my fear to reply to him
If I trust you with my soul
Do you promise not to steal it or destroy it?
He nods at me and smiles.
Eyes flashing, burning into me.
With reservation I move closer and offer my hand to him
Knowing that my life could be forfeit
His huge wings move forward surrounding me
His head bending down as if to kiss me
I close my eyes, for if it is the end I do not wish to see it
As he whispers to me, I am the one, the protector of your soul, safe haven
I will love you forever thru this time and beyond
I will be your Master and protector, trust me with all you are.
All becomes darkness
One flash of lightening chased by thunder
Followed by silence and darkness
I stand still, feeling the warm touch of a hand in mine
Opening my eyes I see before me a man
Flashing eyes and a stunning smile
Who are you? Surely you are not the dragon?
A smile crosses his lips and he speaks
Yes, I am he and now I am yours
It took the courage of your heart to brave the mist
You conquered your fears and came to me
Now I am released from this realm to return with you
My promise holds true…I will love you forever
And so we turn hand in hand
Facing the mist once again
What was darkness now is light
For love has found me and He walks with me to begin our journey together
My Master, my protector, the keeper of my soul
