Beware the sleeping Dragon
Can
you see
him there his
Head finely carved.
Eyes fixed in a stare.
Don’t walk upon his back
Be respectful and have care
For millennia he’s slept there
Resting, gathering strength he awaits
Merlin’s call to help save us from our fate.
We
Do not
See him there
We choose not too
Dragons are not real
Ever denying truth
We do not believe enough
Yet the Dragon believes in us.
Storing his strength to be ready
For the call he will rise when all else falls.

Female, wife, full time mother and Grandmother. I am not as happy go lucky as I used to be but I am still bubbling along on simmer! I have three handsome sons all grown and flown.The youngest married with a beautiful wife and two sons of his own. Eleven years ago I was working, running a home, driving and socializing then bang in a split second all that was gone. I had an accident at home. I broke my back, not for the first time, I had broken it 10 years previously as well. Unfortunately this time I had broken it really badly and it was truly messed up so I had to have two operations. I was told before each operation that the outcome could mean I spend the rest of my life in a wheelchair. Still as some guy once wrote "I am still standing " yes "better than I ever was " not quite but with the help of a walking stick and as long as I do not stand or sit in one position for too long, I am still standing! Update I no longer use the walking stick . I had lots of friends before the accident but when things like this happen, you loose most of them. Their lives move on and mine stood still and so they left me behind ...I know that is just the way life is but it hurt and always will. Then I looked around and saw those who were still there for me, these friends are the roses in my garden they need to be tended well. They are the diamonds in the dust, I will of been married 50yrs plus this year . Pain and boredom are my enemies now, I have to find different ways to approach life, use my pain befriend it almost...yer right , well that is what they tell me at the pain clinic ROFLMAO ...... if only I could! I have found an outlet for my fears, frustrations and night terrors . I have started writing poetry if that name can be applied to my writing. I hope I do not come over as a moaning winger. I hope I am past all that. I also hope that you might see how the poetry is moving from very dark through the grey and
hopefully in to light ??
I need to update this a little here. I have worked very hard over the years since my accident, I go to the gym regularly, I have a Pilates class and a core class once a week . The guys at the gym and my Pilates teacher cajoled, teased, bullied and encouraged me to abandon my walking stick! :) My back is no longer straight it is C shaped because of the injury and I have lost two and a half inches in height but my Pilates and Core teachers have helped me to stand up as straight and as strongly as possible. Pain and depression are still hanging on my arm but I have weapons to use against them and if I say so myself I cope well.
I have made lots of new friends, real diamonds. I am also very grateful for all the support and help I have encountered here on Wordpress. Hugs and welcome to everyone who visits.

Hi Betty he is very special isn’t he💜💜
Yes, I have a new appreciation for dragons now. 😍
They have a very bad press for no good reason 😁
Have you read Thomas Davis’ book, The Weirding Storm? (He posted drafts of the chapters on his blog a few years ago.) An amazing story, with a happy ending for both dragons and humans.
No I haven’t Betty I have not heard of the book I have heard of Thomas Davis and I must of seen parts of the excerpts. I shall have to look it up. Thank you 💜
Thomas is on Four Windows Press blog with wife Ethel. Seems you followed their blog, but maybe I’m mistaken. Both great poets. (They’re the publishers of my book. 😊)
It’s morning here, just got up. Hope you’ve been having a good day! ❤️❤️
I have a a good day thanks just about to fix dinner 🌹 yes I do know of them and I do follow their blog and because I have your book I know they published it 💜💜.
