DRAGON: an individuation poem

Oh, beautiful,
sweet Majesty of the Dragon,
how you speak to me.
How you invite bigness & polarity without apology,
with a simplicity that urges,
I Am Who I Am.
That I can be calm & without bother to move as I move,
so stealthily & low beneath the radar that I slip into a trance,
& before I know it, I find myself dancing in the ether,
floating & unsure of where I am,
yet, also assured in my centeredness & location all at the same time.
That in an instant,
just the shudder of my being can stir the energy of not just myself
but a whole community.
That I can be as crisp & cool as the night
& also as radiating & unrelenting as the Sun.
That in me exists the soft sustenance of undetected air
& a wildfire that purifies lineage & lifetimes.
Oh, Dragon, Thank You for Teaching Me that I Am Not Something to Fear.
That Big & Unevenness aren’t bad.
That I need not be bothered by rejected polarities or to change my nature,
nor go into hiding who I am or be tainted by the perceptions of what cannot be understood about Me.
That I, in me, am the clarity I seek.
That if the World fears me for my incongruence, then I can let them.
That I do not need to be discouraged by the sound of my roar, nor bulk at it.
That there is nothing to Prove.
That I Am As I Am
because I was destined to embody this nature
& if there is a wobble at my fullness,
then there is.
Dragon of my Soul,
thank you for your patience as I awoke to your presence in me.
I will no longer subdue my vibrations.
I will calmly be & wildly roar.
And, if the World quakes in the face of my True Nature,
at my irregularities from moment to moment,
in my stillness or at my most wild,
with my holy coolness & my hellfire,
I will honor allowing for confusion
in the same way that I have learned to regard
the Wholeness of mySelf.
To the Radiant Dragon within you.
With Blessings,
