Dragons!

Once They All Believed In Dragons
by Jack Prelutski

Once they all believed in dragons
When the world was fresh and young,
We were woven into legends,
Tales were told and songs were sung,
We were treated with obeisance,
We were honored, we were feared,
Then one day they stopped believing--
On that day, we disappeared.

Now they say our time is over,
Now they say we've lived our last,
Now we're treated with derision
Where we once ruled unsurpassed.
We must make them all remember,
In some way we must reveal
That our spirit lives forever--
We are dragons! We are real!

 Welcome to the archive of dragons! A multitude of magnificent beasts
captured by an artist or maybe by a bit of magic.....
