Dragons

Where did they come from?
Where did they go?
Questions to which answers,
No one seems to know.

Beautiful and gentle,
As much as a flower.
They soon disappeared,
Due to man's lust for power.

Only those now
As rare as sages.
Can truely find a dragon
In these modern ages.

Once these creatures
Where the protectors of us all.
Sheltering great civilizations
Until they disappeared, leaving them to fall.

Everyone I know
Is a dragon you see.
I look out for you,
You look out for me.

Dragons will be with us
Through the reaches of time.
In fact there's one sitting here,
Teaching me this rhyme.
