Flying 'cross the sky in the blink of an eye
Outstretched wings of shimmering gold.
Her body bore scars of many lives lived her songs were stories of generations old.
Many sun's light she shone to the earth
To keep it warm in the cold and the dark.
She poured out her radiance year after year but those years in time bore their mark.
The darkness became so heavy and thick like mud like she was dragged to the ground.
She lay on the Earth tired and worn
Her light extinguished
Her voice not a sound.
It felt as if she were dreaming
Her body it sank through the earth
Her shimmering scales became flowers
Her eyes could see right through the dirt.
No hell she encountered nor death's resting place
Not a Dragon's den nor a tomb.
But an underground world of flora and fauna, a mossy-green-forested womb.
From behind an oak tree in a shaft of pure light stepped out a tall antlered creature
Half human, half stag, cloven hoof and hair
But his eyes were his strangest feature.
So pure and green and shining they pierced right through her soul
Laying hands, speaking words from other worlds as he stirred an alabaster bowl.
His voice was deep and melodious and echoed through the dense trees
He told her to drink of his potion
And to lay herself back on the leaves.
For nineteen years she had stayed underground
To re-charge, to stop and to cry
But her wings they ached to soar again
Her heart it longed to fly.
Feeling strong she raised her vibration and let her spirit lift to the sky
She burst forth from the cool damp soil her wings they lifted high
So high infact she soared beyond
The clouds,
The sun,
The astenosphere
And into realms unknown to her
Where Lemurians did appear.
These shining beings they smiled so bright as she laid upon their crystal table
They filled her body up with light and gave back what they were able.
She felt so different in her skin
Bright, shining and brand new
Like a bursting well flow of thoughts
She knew what she must do
She left the higher realms of life and went back down to Earth
They needed her more than ever before
But now she knew her worth.
She shone her light and fire stronger than she'd ever done before
She filled the humans hearts with hope and strength and love and more
But all the while she knew the time of reckoning was upon us
When half the world would go to light the others stay in darkness
She knew she needed help to fight the shadows closing in
She called for help both high and low for any chance to win.
Then suddenly her stomach moved
Like an earthquake split with pain
Through her lava flew two Dragons new
Twin Dragons born from flame.
One black as Jet with rainbow hues translucent in moonlight
The other Golden like herself
Representing day and night.
Now as three they circled round and gathered all for good
Transforming many human hearts
As many as they could.
They sang their songs of the bright new world where only love could reign
Where hate and greed had no voice and no sentient being felt pain.
And the realms rejoiced together giving thanks for what they'd won
And to The Golden Dragon and her courage
In all that she had done
