Dragons used to roam
Before Existence Dawned
With their breath they breathed in change
They made Creation Spawn
Dragons carved the Nothing
With their very wings
Their claws, Their tails
Their hide, Their Scales
Brought the Universe into Being
They Enclosed the Infinite
That’s Still Expanding
Fractal Patterns are so Grand
Their Construction was so Demanding
Dragons formed the Stars
To make Life itself Hatch
Their breath formed elements from its atoms
To their essence Life did Latch
The ashes from the stars
Their dust then formed the Planets
The ashes of the stars
Combined When Gravity Did Grant It
The planets formed from Dragon’s Smoke
Were cinders in the dark
Not heavy enough to become Suns
So something else did Spark
The dust did settle
The planets purged
All their toxic plumes
Somewhere in their deep, dark, trenches
Life began to bloom
Then dragons descended upon the planets
And like their stars, Did shine
Different from all Life Itself
The Dragons were Divine
Then when life emerged
Crawling from the seas
Eons passed
Algae to Grass
Surging from the brine
Eventually rose
Free of Thought
The Power of Mankind
Like the dragons they too did roam
And scoured o’er all the Earth
They subjugated the Land
Its creatures
Its beings
Their place of birth
Dragons had some Children then
That ruled amongst Mankind
Yet to one another
Eyes were never turned blind
The Dragons took all kinds of forms
They dominated the landscape
Yet, Man was closing in behind them
This Intelligent Kind of Great Ape
The Dragons swam the seas
Taking to its depths
Never needing to Surface
Never Needing a Breath
Their wings turned to fins
To brave the very waves
Their wings turned to fins
Conquered the Waters there to swim
The Dragons buried down
Deep Below the Crust
They lost their legs
And too their wings
Slithered in molten Dust
The Dragons of the land
Turned their wings to limbs
They crawled and climbed
They walked and Traipsed
Over every field and mountain they could find
The dragons in the skies
Saw many wond’rous things
Yet they saw the struggle
With the Human Beings
The Dragon Spawn on Earth
Were collected in tow
Their parents scooped them up
Said “It’s time to go.”
Yet, the Humans that were Dragons
In Mind and Soul and Heart
Became forever broken
Now that We’re apart
When the Dragons Left
They continued to Beget
Universes Akin
Infinitely Boardering One Another
Like mere layers of Skin
When the Dragons Left
They left their signs for us in the Sky
They left behind, thoughts of love so kind
They did more than just say “Bye.”
The Dragons left Our Cosmos
But they will Return
When there’s Appreciation
That We’ve Truly Learned
The Dragons Will Return
But Until Then
Stay Strong
Grow Kind
You’re Smart
Become Wise
Then We’ll See You
Again

Loved taking the journey with each new word
Not so sure of the intelligence of we great apes though. Really well done.
I see you formed your own universe made of dragon god-ness. Very unique world you have created here. Well worth the vision, what a return that will be.
"This Intelligent Kind of Great Ape." I literally laughed out loud at this line. I so can't wait for the dragons to return! I want them to obliterate us all hehehhehe
Great challenge entry and some amazing images
