I, am a dragon
Because I Choose to be
I see the Tao and the Void
My step will be true
My mind will be strong
And my heart will be as one
My path is the way of nothingness
I travel this patch in search of peace and serenity
Knowledge I gain on this path, I will pass on to others
If they are also of a true heart.
