Soul Dragon
She has a wooden box
her father made for her
it has a
dragon inlaid in gold on the lid
in old stories
dragons sit on piles of treasure
hoarding them
protecting them
this box is full of
her treasure
letters from loved ones
the first letter she ever got
that said:
"I love you"
the letters that make her smile
the letters that make her cry
good news and bad
postcards and stones
collected from the past
this dragon is hers
its her
soul dragon
it hoards her
it protects her
it makes sure she's all right
