On Dragon’s Wings

Faint glow of dawn

Crawling up her belly

Flickering each time

She rises ‘neath me

Stretching heavenward

Silken wings

Forrest green lifting

Into the last breaths of night

Momentary death of the dark

Giving birth to the light

Cold wind rushes past

Then a warm flash

That never lasts

Soft petal pink and peach

Getting closer

Still always out of reach

Whoosh on the downstroke

Soft hiss after the peak

The colors bloom

Creep up my legs

Followed by the warmth

Flying up to meet us

As we lift higher still

Currents lifting us

Long fingers caressing

Carrying us gently

Cabled muscles of steel

My Seraphim

Rocking me to sleep

Flights of fancy

Dreaming of walking on clouds

Laying down along her great green neck

To feel her power

Down the length of me

Born on the back

Of the greatest beast

Sailing off to new lands

And future dreams

Shouting against the wind

In joy and delight

As the sun rises fully

And we soar at daylight
