A poem for a contest about a dragon

See them running in day-light
With no fear of the shadow above.
See them laughing at the sky
With no fear of the smoke.
See them harvesting the forest
With no fear of the noises
See them forgetting you exist.


Picture them running in day-light
With their heads bent.
Picture them looking at the sky
With fear in their eyes.
Picture them stumble about in the forest
With respect across their faces.
Picture them knowing you exist.

Consider them running in day-light
With a fork and touches firm in their hands
Consider them looking at the sky
With a bow and thousand arrows
Consider them destroying the forest
With fire and axes
Consider them knowing you exist.

Let them run in the day-light
With their wandering minds
Let them look at the sky
To sometimes catch a stare
Let them not forget who lives in the forest
With sudden frightening roars
Let them wonder if you exist.
