Screaming, kicking, shoved in to the world, a child begins the race. Dodging, twisting, avoiding, instinctively running, as the child grows the race is slow. Hardly noticed, through springs childhood filled with endless summers of time unending, but a sense of foreboding as the dragon's flame grows. You hurry into adulthood in a flurry to grow, your heels warm as the dragon's flame grows. Familles begin, family goes, friends pass, as the dragon's flame grows. The future is now, where did the past go? Echoes of childhood dreams curled huddled in your brain, as the dragon's flame grows. Looking ahead, desiring to go back, pushed headlong into the fray, you begin to wonder why, as the dragon's flame grows. Where does the time go? Unending pressure, work harder to gain, only to find you have slipped behind. Again summer has waned into fall's early snow, and you feel the heat, as the dragon's flame grows. Looking behind now, not for the past, but in fear at what tracks you, gaining ground fast, you hurry onward, as the dragon's flame grows. Now praying to never finish the race, winter has caught you and sealed your fate. Your time is now, no time, no place left to hide you turn and look into the jaws of the beast and feel yourself falling into the abyss. your fear is complete as the dragon's flame grows. In shock, you awake, no pain, no heat. you stand before the mighty beast. Seeing your self mirrored in his eyes, your judgment complete, He speaks, "Return to the world man child, Your journey is not yet complete, until you pass through life without fear of my heat. Then again, we shall meet as the dragon's flame grows."
