The sky is just white
But I see
Beyond the morning light
Their long triangle tales
And fire blowing flames
Dragons I see
Looking down at me

Their mythic beauty fascinates me
I hold their tail and pull them down
Holding their orange moustache
Like a crown

The sky is just white
But I see
Beyond the morning light
The sharp swords at their neck
Seem to me like cards on a playing deck
Dragons I see
In the sky set free



As the lines of pink in the sky go dark
The clouds change shape
But I can still make out
Where the dragons would be

The sky is just white
But I see
Beyond the morning light
The teeth are sharp like a shark’s
Their howls thunder but still sound like barks
Dragons I see
Calling me

They jump on each other
In a dangerous yet good-humored fight
They jumble around in their battlefield
Turning their tail into a knot quite tight

The sky is just white
But I see
Beyond the morning light
They’ve black under their eye
Thumping their feet across the sky
Dragons I see
Combating me

As dusk sets the sky
And stars twinkle
I still see beyond their light
For the last time
At the dragons amidst the clouds
This time;
Waving goodbye…

The sky is just white
But I see
Beyond the morning light…

what do you see in when you look up in the sky?.. I see 'Dragons Amidst The Clouds' playing right there. This poem is written from the vision of a child who sees the shapes in the clouds as fierce dragons…Hope you enjoy reading it.
