Enter the Dragon

James Cordery

Enter the Dragon.
Its fiery breath to ashes
will blacken and burn,
suffocating the senses.

Enter the Dragon.
The belly of the Beast;
where thoughts dissolve away
into Nothingness.

Enter the Dragon.
Demon Beast of yore.
Force of death
and dissolution.

Enter the Dragon;
spreading wings wide,
to fly transcendent,
into Heaven's Sky.

Enter the Dragon
with the crown of the King,
and find the Pearl Stone
waiting within.
