_____________________________
All of us are travelers lost,
our tickets arranged at a cost
unknown but beyond our means.
This odd itinerary of scenes
--enigmatic, strange, unreal--
leaves us unsure how to feel.
No postmortem journey is rife
with more mystery than life.
Tremulous skeins of destiny
flutter so ethereally
around me--but then I feel
its embrace is that of steel.
On the road that I have taken,
one day, walking, I awaken,
amazed to see where I have come,
where I'm going, where I'm from.
This is not the path I thought.
This is not the place I sought.
This is not the dream I bought,
just a fever of fate I've caught.
I'll change highways in a while,
at the crossroads, one more mile.
My path is lit by my own fire.
I'm going only where I desire.
On the road that I have taken,
one day, walking, I awaken.
One day, walking, I awaken,
on the road that I have taken.

Earth Dragon
If you make friends with the Earth Dragon, you have a friend for life!(maybe...) Friendship is a big-time commitment which they show through uncommon kindness, caring, and giving spirit(not so sure about that). When youngsters, Earth Dragons are valued by their teachers(true) and playmates(rubbish) and when older, by their superiors, colleagues, and social circle(highly doubt that). It's no wonder! Hardworking and talented, these well-rounded Dragons have a lively imagination which transforms the atmosphere(...). They are able to do many things well and receive many accolades during their very successful careers and good money to boot(yeah, librarian salaries...). These Dragons are wildly impulsive in money matters(true!). If they see it, they buy it(hell yeah!^^). When they buy it, it's out of sight out of mind, forgotten in the toy box(not always). Not too late to change these wasteful spending habits, you know!(What? It isn't?) Like most Dragons, those of the Earth don't like to rush Love(love? what's that? can I eat it?). They like doing what comes naturally, steady rhythm, beginning from friendship and igniting into the exhilaration of falling in love when it's time(not too shabby way of saying it). Earth Dragons want long-lasting relationships, not tumbling tumble weeds(oh). After the male dragon has gotten over his playboy stage, he is the biggest convert of all to the joys of the everlasting Relationship(as a female, it must be my playmate stage then...).
