The year of the wooden dragon is nigh
Opposing energies will be unleashed:
Noble vitality will multiply
By aged wisdom will prudence be preached
How will we fare, caught in this creature’s coils?
Do celestial forces forge our fates?
Recall how cunning Cassius’ tongue toils
To find fault in us; no star he berates
We should not fear this wooden dragon, then
Nor should we ignore his potent image;
Let the dragon shield our modest garden
And fill our hearts with dauntless, bold courage
Symbols can encourage and inspire
Let them do so, without fearing false fire
