The Dragons Within

 

I see red and yellow dragons

Dancing across my vision

Within the dark alleys of my mind

Warm liquid surround them

Pulling them down to a place unseen

Drifting along on emotional waves

Within the dark alleys of my heart

There is something else ripping it apart

With the sharpness of a blade

Just slicing it to bits and pieces

To bleed sorrows of past mistakes

I feel blood dripping deep within

As those dragons dance

Within the dark alleys of my mind

I think many of us can relate to these Dragons, Tinka. And yet we "soldier" on, and maybe yet we will find that soft place where love will be euphoria and peace? Wonderfully powerful write...much enjoyed!
Wishing you a wonderful Holiday,
Jim

We fear most what we cannot see, and the dragons of our minds plague us to no end, until the knight comes along and slays them for us. My dragons have been slain by the knight that is AD, because of all the advice and encouragement you all have given me.

I feel blood dripping deep within
As those dragons dance
Within the dark alleys of my mind

This says to me that the blood dripping within is the soul bleeding out the terror of the mind, and allowing us to face our fiercest foes with courage and dignity. When we can do that, the dragons in our soul will no longer dance in the dark alleys of our minds.

This is a very powerful poem, and made me think about the dragons in my soul that I have had to face over time. Thank you for sharing Tinka.

May the Lord Jesus bless you, and those whom you love and who love you, and be with you always, and at your side constantly. With much love in my heart, joy to the world, peace on earth & ((((((((((MANY WONDERFUL SISTERLY HUGGGGSSSS)))))))))), your little sister, Barbie

Tinka,

This one makes me cringe for you, for the pain, for the darkness you live with ... may you see release and freedom from the dragons that torment you ... this past weekend, went to a Cleansing Stream retreat ... where I was set free from "junk in my trunk." May you realize that, too. :)

Tina,this reminds me of my poem,"Dragons Within Me" -- what is it about dragons that makes us want to relate to the dark things in life -- I guess it is the mystique of those mythical beasts of lore -- I like your poem -- peace to you -- JMW

Wow, Tink, what good images, I can feel those dragons dancing (maybe singing too?). Given a chance, if you will freely dance with them, the dragons will heal your wounds, for dragons are the very best of fortune. Be well :-)
