The Dragon

Sometimes in your life certain events and things come together and initiate an unforgettable experience. This is not always easy, but writing about it can place things in perspective.

Soms komen in je leven bepaalde gebeurtenissen en dingen samen en veroorzaken een onvergetelijke ervaring. Dit is niet altijd makkelijk, maar door erover te schrijven, kan helpen bij het verwerken ervan.

Listen to/luister naar "The Dragon"

The Dragon

Beyond the mountains where the eagles cry

There is a place, where spirals burn and dragons fly.

I had to find my way up in the tree

And felt it was the time for me to see

And realise the consequences of my way

That it’s not just a game I used to play.

And then I had to face the one that was foretold

The skies turned dark and the winds fierce and cold

So I clung to the tree and cried out in fear

Feeling the words that I was going to hear.

And in the thunder he told me I was prepared

To see underneath if I just dared

To respect the powers of sky and of earth

When I continue my path and search.

He’d just left when the drums called me back

So I turned home down the track.

My fall from the tree was in pain and fear

But the guardian is always near.

Beyond the mountains where the eagles cry

There is a place, where spirals burn and dragons fly.

Beyond the mountains where the eagles cry

There is a place, where spirals turn and owls fly.
