The Dragon

Today I'm the dragon
   perched on the cliff edge
      too large to enter the cave.

I drop off the cliff,
   to soar into the
       welcoming warm darkness.

Into the open endless space
   allowing me to grow,
      to expand, 
         to contract,
            to grow again,
               larger than the earth             
                 flying home.
