I don't have Microsoft Word so I'm just gonna use this blog post as my draft while I write my poem :(

Dying Embers

Part 1: Dragons

Time: -9078.13/64:24 GCT

I awaken, to the midst of night: the cold, the deafening, darkless night,

And as I lay, my gaze drifts to, where a million embers line my sight,

And, shining, cut the shadows through, to light my eyes far in the distance...

"Oh," said I, in wonder quite, "how I truly wish I knew

What lights the bounds of my existence."

Now as I watched: all the twinkling lights; did hold me - a captive - with their sight,

And as I stared, pondered, wondered; how with those embers I might unite,

To my shock, in fold a hundred, rapidly I felt my body grow.

Till, at last, great wings of might! Of neither flesh, nor blood, and

Yet now, in reach, lay the stars, aglow.

I spread my wings, and to my delight, saw a thousand metal scales take flight,

Glistening blue, drifting nearer, near the burning embers of the night.

As I came to see them clearer, I bore a floating nest of metal

But, within, my nesting site: cults, Kyarr, plagued my feeder,

So, among these, I chose to settle.

Time continued, passing mite by mite, around this ember that burned so bright-

My scales grew more, my wings in flight

Spanned from Sol to Ceti,

[encounter with gaule dragon]

[mutual expansion, peaceful]

[skirmishes]

[offended]

[starting a fight]

[closing reflection while locked in battle]

Part 2: Spoils of War

Time: -000.04/83:07 GCT

I awake

Part 3: Dying Embers

Time: 000.01/92:23 GCT

I awaken, to this home of mine, in amber glow of fireshine,

"like the final embers of some dragon's dying breath"
