Sense Sonnet - Acher

 My Dragon

When I was young I would go to

A nearby lake, lovely and deep.

And I did make a good friend who

Emerged from the water to keep

Company with me for a while.

It was a time and place for fun.

My dragon always made me smile.

I felt a very special one.

But then I moved on with my life,

And gave my dragon little thought.

I got caught up in human strife,

And smiled the less, older I got.

But now near death as I do be,

My dragon has returned to me.
