Eternal Guardians fr M lady Fiona

To you a thousand years would seem
as a mere moment passing by
The faintest echo of a dream
that would not even justify.

The opening of a watchful eye
nor yet the twitching of an ear
From guardian dragons who still lie
in peaceful sleep not far from here.

As they have done for centuries.
Until some danger threatens. Then
they will fulfil the prophecies.
Take to the skies to protect men.

Or so the ancient legends say.
Though disbelieved by modern men.
It may be true I cannot say
the dragons will not fly again.

The time will come when they must fly
emerging from their hiding place.
What the will modern man reply
to saviours of the human race.
