“A Dragon Has Just Flown Over the Treetops…”

 

“We must all show great constancy.”

 

-C. S. Lewis, Voyage of the Dawn Treader

 

Dragons! They seem to land among us daily

Blotting out all happiness, all innocent joys

In appearance and demeanor ugly and scaly,

Suppressing silence through foul foolish noise

 

Dragons! They don’t like anything about who we are

Our words, our works, our walks, our dreams, our tunes,

Our happy memories of a long-ago star

Our lazy moments in barefoot afternoons

 

Dragons! They want to crush us in the end

But we’ve read the story – we always win
