Dragons are part of our myths and legends, part of the world of magic.
Our mundane everyday world is killing this magic, can we save it before its gone and the Dragon is Dead.
Dragon is Dead
spoken word by Esther Mathison
I wonder about the loss of wonder in everyday life where no one
is looking.
I wonder about the death of mystery. There haven’t stopped being mysteries,
We’ve just stopped paying attention.
All t he omens and the moments, life interrupted by dream,
Have been slowly dying, until we no longer visit sleep.
But it is not with our eyes open that we see what we see.
If the heart can not guide us, we walk with a fool’s assurance.
Each step could be our last, but in our minds we are immortal.
And yet we’ve scorned the only true way to live forever,
When you abandon the moment, you are already dead.
