Sacrifice

Flames erupted, its tongues licking the Sky

As a thunder of dragons was flying by

A Dragon brushed Her wing ‘gainst mine

In fierce embrace or a glorious design

Lightning danced in clouds of majestic Ice

Rippled along visions of Doom or Paradise

Eternity flashed swiftly across my mind

Destiny with Visions of “Her” entwined

Fierce talons grappled with Mine

Ripping flesh and feathers so fine

Blood trickled in crimson rivers

Flesh tore wide, bones broke in slivers

A dragon with scales bright as the Sun

Took my talons in hers and rapidly spun

Her wings shielded my bleeding Heart

Our Destinies entwined, never apart

Together we shall fly again, will it suffice?

I glimpse a Vision of Heaven, a sacrifice?

Lofty Souls departed, never to look behind

Bones in the Highest Peaks are now enshrined
