Dragon's Heart

Red Dragon was on her way
She had no goal in mind
Life was good and exciting enough
By living as she lived from day to day

Great friends, she had made
With the creatures in the forest she stays
And even with those who suddenly appeared
Or passed by on a certain day
If they didn't fill her heart
They had at least filled her stomach.

It was dark, dark and silent
Was there something different?
What was it that was missing
And had stopped her heart from singing for a sec
She lit a small fire to see where she was going.

What was that shattered in front of her?
Who lost or more important broke it?
She carefully sniffed at it
Oh, my heart...
She jumped and Up she was
Spreading her wings
Searching the area
You can hide but I will always find you, she thought.

There he was her friend
Trotting his way out of the woods
Woooof!
Wuuush, a piece of her wing hit a branch
No way she could land.

You have to see this!
Her voice sounded different
Did he hear her calling out for him?
Abrupt he stood and growled to the sky
Girl, can't you see I am busy?
I'm hunting, some of us have to work to be able to eat!

Gone!
The fat hare was out of sight.


Alright, what do we have here
Woof wasn't easily impressed
Wow Dragon how did you do this
How did you manage to break a heart?

Me?
Dragon couldn't remember harming anyone
The last time she had a meal was with
That old glib guy with the pie
She's made clear to him by
Saying You are not my friend
Puzzled she looked at the pieces.

Woof looked up at the sky
Dragon, did you notice the moon is down?
Where did the man on the moon went?
He's hiding in Asia she said, the cold North wasn't what he expected.

I'm no longer part of his world since he fell but
We have to pick up the pieces, how are we doing that?
A shattered heart should not lie around like that

It needs a home to heal, Dragon, you know I can't take it
I can
She didn't need time to decide, Dragon acted instinctively.
Whatever it is I'm big enough to endure it.
Are you sure
One hundred per cent
If not I ask Seven, she thought

How to lift it and get it inside or should I swallow it?
Dragon looked at her huge claws
No way she could pick up the pieces
Your teeth aren't a good idea either, she said to Woof

The wolf sniffed, thought and sniffed again
It's not busyness but sadness that broke it
Are you sure you can handle depression?
Dragon...I don't think you should do this
You are the only true joy I know

You only see good and enjoy every step you take
Regret, second thoughts are not for you
It's what I admire so much about you.

Dragon blushed
It was not that Woof noticed
Since her skin was already coloured red.

A shadow covered Dragon's head
Hi, you two, what are you up to?
Birca the owl landed
Gosh, Woof you are getting sloppy.

It wasn't me, I wouldn't have shattered it but eaten the entire soul. You know I don't waste prey.
Me neither. I swallowed it all, Dragon added to the conversation.
Look at my paws, I am not picky, it's shattered.

I can see that.

It needs a home, Woof groaned, at least if you want to save it.
There's more to it, he howled, can't you see the the moon is gone?

Let me help, the wise owl offered.
All you need to do is wishful thinking

Pieces lifted one by onr off the road
For a moment a complete heart showed
Before it disappeared in Dragon's chest and united with her own big heart.

Let it rest, Birca said, be happy Dragon
Don't forget yourself

Gone by the wind, like usual, Woof growled
I need to find some food urgently
You did some good again, my friend
See you!

Dragon felt happy as she hoovered around
New adventures and friends waited for her to be found
As she spotted a swamp her heart jumped
Hurray, a new mud bath was waiting for her.

This was life
She sighed
Who are you, a little pig asked
Can't you see I'm taking a bath?
