about

“This was inspired by a lucid dream I had the day after a sensory deprivation tank session (float tank) as part of my healing process. As I awoke from the dream I felt compelled to start writing, and four pages came out, almost unedited. It felt like a gift, a story from universal consciousness.”

lyrics

I dreamed I found three dragon eggs
And brought them to my home.
I warmed them and I loved them.
Two hatched and began to roam.

My mom & I, we travelled far
Throughout the mountainside
To give them safety – a safer place
A safe place in the sky.

As we travelled through the forest,
The birds, they came to me.
They nestled on that final egg,
To warm it, as need be.

The third egg hatched,
And my mom went back, to gather up supplies.
I walked farther into the forest,
Until time no longer applied.

But when she found us
Things had changed, for time had whisked away.
Our dragons – they were giant sized
And would not, could not stay

One dragon, emerald green she was
Had thrown me in the air.
After somersaulting down to her
I rode her everywhere.

As I rode, my skin it changed.
I became a part of her.
I had green scales all over me
Connected telepathically.

We rode as one, into the sky
Invisible to all.
As we descended, came to the ground,
There was a magic tree.

This was our home
Our tree bore fruit and protected all who came.
We began to think, not of ourselves
But as a greater part of we.

My brother found his dragon
And let go of all his fears.
He found his strength, all he could be
For no one to see but he.

Bonded with his dragon,
My mother – she was too.
Hale and healthy, with agility
In love and integrity.

We flew the world. Invisible.
And all we touched, turned true.
They found their love, for all the earth
And creatures that do be.

Prime Ministers and Presidents
All leaders of our world
Had hearts touched by dragons
and found that they could see.

Those that turned towards the love
Found upon their hearts.
A small green dragon rode there,
To guide them, and to start.

Not all could find the courage
To open up their hearts
For they, their dragons blackened
Turned inwards, with fangs and forked parts.

Creatures, magical and pure
Found their way to our new home.
The magic drew them, Because our hearts were true,
they no longer had to roam.

New eggs appeared, were warmed and hatched.
New riders found in kind.
To spread the ease and happiness,
The joy we all had found.

As warriors of love, we rode,
On throughout the night
And as more were touched and more dragons born
We circled the world in flight.

My sister joined us, her partner too.
Found their dragons at their sides.
Their inner strength joined in our fight,
As our world – she opened wide.

Our planet changed, as love was gained,
And people turned toward the skies.
And each one of us, found our love,
As we looked deep and deeper inside.

We threw away our trappings,
Of status and inequality.
And found our inner worlds were love,
And loved all there was to be.
And found our inner worlds are love,
And loved all there is to be.
