Revelations
In twilight’s hush, ‘neath obsidian’s gleam
A dragon, guardian of shadow’s realm
Encounters twin in mirror’s tranquil sheen
Eyes ember-bright with fervent curiosity
Reflections trace the tale of armored scales
Forged in fires, now softened, gentle touch
Each ridge, a memory of battles waged
Each scar, a testament to life’s fierce hold
Yet deeper than the flesh, a truth concealed
Beneath the myths that shroud identity
A soul yearns for the touch of recognition
Amidst the whispers of forgotten dreams
In silence, ‘twixt the rhythm of heartbeats
Echoes rise, forgotten melodies of yore
Of wings that soared on freedom’s boundless breath
And flames that danced in wild abandon
But lingering midst the reverie, a question
A shadow cast upon the fortress of the self
Who am I beneath this armor’s guise?
What shapes the essence of a dragon’s soul?
The answer, elusive as the moon’s embrace
