Chapter 7

“To tell the truth, I don’t know where to start. My fathers name is Ronertan and is a merchant ship captain, so he is gone pretty much all year long. That is his life and he loves it more than even family. Not that my father is selfish or mean he just loves his work.

Afraid to ask questions,
pretending they don't exsist
surely things will break
sooner or later,
for the questions hover, watching
like dragons in the air.

Standing near the rooftops,
looking past garages, trees
basketball hoops and cars,
the distant places,
someday, I'll go there
and the words hover, waiting,
like dragons in the air.

Later, I woke to the sounds of voices coming from just outside my room. With great effort, I managed to stand and walk to the door, leaning against the doorway for support.

“We cannot keep it here, Durant,” a low, gravelly voice said. “And we all know what happened with your last little “find”. Excuse me for saying so, but I’m just a little irritated by the fact that we could all be murdered in our homes. And you would stand by and let it happen!”

“Now, Faylin…” Durant began soothingly.

Far on high
Soaring through the clouds
Smoke pours out
Flames shoot forth
Powerful wings beat
I gaze in awe
As it flies by
Beautiful, wonderful
I reach
But it’s too far
I slowly turn away
My friends call
They laugh when I say
“A Dragon”
I look back
And see it again
The head turns my way
I lift a hand and wave
He dives down
Closer, closer still
Almost on the earth
He soars away
I sigh and whisper and say
“Yes a Dragon”
