The dragon's cove


Within the depths
of the forest,
amidst a clearing
frosted with snow,
I walked, slowly making my way
towards the dragon's cavern.

High above me,
the stars twinkled bright,
glimmering softly
unto my heart,
sharing their light like
angels in the night.

Tears glistened in my eyes,
shimmering quietly
in the moon's radiant light,
there was a deep ache within my soul,
overwhelming
the depths of my heart.

I knew
I had to keep walking,
I knew I had to get
to my sweet dragon friend
before I fell to my knees
in a heap of agony.

Around the corner,
hidden in the grove of trees,
the entrance to the cave
loomed just ahead,
I saw a light flickering
upon the inner walls of the cave.

I walked a little faster now,
nearly tripping over my own feet,
getting there was the only thing
on my mind and it was all that mattered,
knowing the warmth that
awaited me inside.

I stepped inside,
holding my arms around myself tight,
I was so cold my fingers trembled,
even my gossamer wings
shivered as they fluttered softly
in the winter breeze.

Deep inside the cavern,
I found the dragon
breathing fire upon the
flickering flames, making sure
that the fire wouldn't go out
during the night.

He took one look at me
and immediately asked
what was wrong, told me
to tell him all about it
as he motioned me
to come closer.

I let my guard down
and burst into tears
as I told him everything
that was weighing heavily
upon my heart that night,
without holding back.

He squeezed me warmly tight,
wrapping his wings around me,
like a blanket of security
he brought me comfort
and eased my troubled mind,
warming my heart and soul.

Upon his shoulders
I let myself cry,
as he listened to my
every word,
allowing me to pour
my heart out.

As I talked, he offered me
words of kindness and support
and he reminded me
how much I am loved
and how I am a blessing to many
even if I don't know I am.

After some time passed,
the tears slowly came to a stop,
the warmth of my dragon friend
warmed the very depths of me,
with just his tender presence
I began to feel better.

It wasn't long before
he had me smiling again,
although I felt emotionally exhausted
and my eyes had hurt from crying,
I still found the strength
to smile again.

I looked up at my dragon friend
and told him how very grateful
I was for him being there
when I needed him most,
and told him how blessed I was
to have him in my life.

"Thank you sweet dragon friend,"
I whispered quietly
as I smiled warmly,
"For being a huge part of my life.
You mean the world to me sweet friend,
and you always will."
