What is a dragon?
Is he a serpent with claws
and a gargoyle face
on a Chinese banner?
Is he a terrible monster
slain in his nest
hunted by Beowulf?
What is a dragon?
Is it a feathered creature
or one of telepathic mind
in the tale of Eragon?
Is it only a myth and legend
only a dinosaur -
its children on the isle of Komodo?
What is a dragon?
Is he one of many
one of a vast army
of countless species and names?
Is he alone
one of a dying race
hunted, rare, beautiful?
What is a dragon?
Is he sometimes evil
a youth's nightmare,
breathing fire in your dreams?
Is he sometimes good
kneeling to let you up,
as the cavalry of the sky?
What is a dragon?
Does he have bright scales
with reptilian eyes
and the largest claws in the world?
Is he the heart of a man
one who is bold
a great leader among men?
What is a dragon?
Myth or real all agree
the dragon was feared -
few challenge his might and power.
But what is a dragon?
Symbol of strength and fire -
fearless and proud, king of reptiles.
What is a dragon?
I am a dragon.
