From shadows he flies on dragons wings......
searching, the world for his mate.
with every glance his heart dies more......
Is he the last? Is this his fate?
To die and never to have loved...........
never to touch or be embraced?
to continue he has tried...........
for he is the last of his race.
Atop a mountain he has flown,
and one last look he takes....
but there is nothing, no one there
even emptiness has gone.
Lifting his wings to the sky
a loud moaning roar he makes
his heart crying out in sadness
not a single route to take
Now he knows that he has failed
in this lonely world of pain
ending all would be too sweet
as there is nothing more to gain.
Lowly dragon once so proud
has fallen so far from grace
If only someone knew his heart
or the pain upon his face.
Then in the night comes a rustle
the flapping of distant wings
yet, at first he does not hear it
he is thinking of other things.
She was searching the world over
so hard looking for her mate.....
he cannot believe it's happening
could this truly be his fate?
She flaps her wings on the mountain
his cries of pain she has heard....
and she smiles at him so sweetly
there is no need to say a word.
He enfolds her in his wings
giving her a warm embrace
he listens to his heart sing
the survival of their race
