Dragon’s Breath
Bridging Gaps Across the Centuries
Dragon’s breath
whispers into the trees
A song to sing
Carrying all our troubles away.
Bridging gaps across the centuries
Lifetimes
Ancestral chasm
Bypassing not the scar laden sinew.
Shaman’s call
Flute playing in background scene
Sacred smoke
Clearing with gusts of energy.
Panther pads
Silent across the forest floor
Shadow-born guardian
Lifting the remnants of sorrow in her jaws.
Muscles ripple
As she slips between worlds
Carrying what once burdened us
Far beyond the reach of memory.
Night accepts her offering
Stars blinking in quiet gratitude
And the path ahead
Clears beneath her steady stride.
Dragon’s breath
whispers into the trees
A song to sing
Carrying all our troubles away.
