dragon unseen

[fledgist]

the echo of the horror goes away

leaving behind this memory of shock

a break in time not noted by the clock

while passing cloud has covered up the ray

we are not certain yet this is full day

so we come here and place our hearts in dock

for your perusal so that you might mock

or press us hard or even probe and slay

the signal here is of a subtle sort

made for discernment by an elder eye

thus nor for wasting on our hasty youth

who are on this day in another court

beneath a vision of a different sky

but still must learn there is a single truth
