Dragon breath

Is the mist, air by air kissed.

See how it hangs

Seems to rise from the sea.

Dragon breath it is

There’s a cave under wave

Where the dragon sleeps

Snoring soft, exhaling dreams.

Dragon breath

Of that I am sure, rising on shore

Dancing over rock and crab

And sand and stone.

Dragon breath

Proof of magic in a world often tragic

Showing us there is wonder to be found

If we simply look around.

G. Lawrence.
