My Dragons

I see them in my dreams,
In all their splendid glory.
Their scales shine in the sun,
Smooth, but hard, to the touch.

I know them well,
As they know me too.
They are my friends,
Never possibly a foe.

They are my guardians,
Wise and strong in their own ways.
They've been here,
Always at my side.

I watch them spread their wings,
Breath catching in my throat.
I watch as they take flight,
Filled with a great awe.

I long to fly with them,
And I hear them calling me.
They beckon to me
And I give in.

They are my dragons,
My guardians.
I love them so,
And they love me.
