Dragonfly Original [Sheila Kennedy]

The Guardian Dragon

By Sheila Kennedy

Forth he came then from his lair

Wings unfurled as he smelt the air

Long the time he had been asleep

In a cavern in the earth deep

Yet always listening for the call

From the one he gave his all

A promise made then long began

Before the advent as he knows as man

Life times many there have been

Between this guardian male and his human seen

As small and weak and in need of care

From this ancient guardian there

In stories told

Of deeds bold

And ancient earthly lore

The dragon human bond was forged from shore to shining shore

An unbreakable bond of love and care

Of duty and knowing then what’s fair

Bind together as you see

Our Guardian Dragons with you and me

So blessed we are on this too

As Dragon memories are shared with you

Water Dragon [Sheila Kennedy]

Water Dragon

By Sheila Kennedy

Prehistoric grey, green and gold

He shows not fear is brave and bold

The river bank he calls his home

Along its length he then does roam

Prehistoric is his form

For him the reeds a daily norm

Yet basks he too in sun so fair

And surveys all around him there

I had not seen these creatures bold

Who look like stone from days of old

Until I came to stay awhile

Beside a river which made me smile

For walks many there have been

Along the banks of verdant green

Accompanied by a small dog

Who investigates both dragon and frog

The dragon fearless holds its gaze

Before turning to the maze

Of reeds and grasses that abound

Along the banks of the river sound

For water flowing there do be

Between the banks as we do see

To close at times I need have a care

Or the dog would have me in the river there
