the shadow of dragons

 

 

The small voice of helplessness

is always crushed

by the Arctic wind of selfishness

 

It is left shivering and frightened

by the booming icebergs

of the heartless

 

And as we lay awake in distress

on our wet

and weary pillow

we engage with the shadow of dragons

It is indeed the root. And the world is emersed in it.
