Dragon Thaw

 

The winter stretched like Ouroboran tail,

Thus, the rider sought the dragon

Iron Scale beneath her bridge

“We need your breath of fire

For life to prevail,”

The rider said.

One roar,

Spring.

the photo shows a winter forest covered in snow. A horse and rider carrying a flag are crossing a bridge. Underneath a dragon sleeps.
