Having exhausted my limited archives, this is the first original piece I've written in about 5 years. Feel free to comment but be gentle. I'm a bit rusty (OK a lot rusty) and the lines don't flow as freely as they did back then but it was good to find I can still turn a line if I try hard enough.
================================================== ========
will you catch the ball
of energy and light
the dark star on a crystal night
with it's strange pulsating rhythym
there's a code there to be read
if you'll step inside my circle
but be careful where you tread
for in the circle sleeps the dragon
only tethered by a thread
the beast that guards the way
to a narrow rocky path
many slipped and fell
trying to go that way
far fewer have the courage
to pluck a scale from the dragons hide
to cut the thread, wake the beast
and try to hold on for the ride
but those who will ride the lightning
headlong through the darkness
laughing in the rain
might lay down in the sunshine
in the eye of the hurricane
