The Visionary's Dragon

(1)
 
Beneath a blanket of autumn leaves,
a visionary sleeps.
 
Her body coils; deep within itself,
for she cannot perceive,
the ageless warmth,
that surrounds her.
 
(2)
 
As gentle eyes open and fill with light,
a visionary awakens.
 
She emerges from her cocoon,
and kisses the oak.
The forest trembles,
as she rises.
 
(3)
 
Unbound by fate’s many restrictions,
a visionary ponders.
 
For far beyond the golden meadow,
a crimson kingdom,
has swallowed the soul,
of an ancient dragon.
 
(4)
 
Weaving her love into curative seeds,
a visionary departs.
 
Assuming the form of a white rabbit,
she remains unnoticed,
as she plants life,
deep within the ruined earth.
 
(5)
 
And as the dragon is given form,
a visionary smiles.
 
Drunken by the scent of his regal splendor,
she pulls ever close,
and wraps herself,
in his newborn wings.
 
(6)
 
Beneath a blanket of autumn leaves,
a visionary sleeps.
 
Her body coils; joined by her beloved,
for she can at last perceive,
the ageless warmth,
that surrounds her.
