Great Wall Of China: Earth Dragon Poem by Terence George Craddock

time dragon leaps
rugged mountains
weathered ranges

winter fierce storm ice
sun baking rock heat
blasting sandstorms
waterless droughts
dragon indifferent
shakes off rest sleeps

time sleeps warriors
wind leaves spent
no longer guards
armoured behind
walls arrow ports
nomadic invaders
sand time swallowed
what is a wall when wall

takes on life symbolic its
own snakes across mountains
Jurassic landscape ranges
an earth dragon
road through time
remnant sections

in pounded earth mud
turning back into dust
in time ruination scale
nature modern ancient
intermixing resurges
time growth recycles
nature plant peach trees
bees hum honey journey

grass creeping
in psychological
darkness past

to invading
imagination present
an exceptionally

creative poem
nature sings
time changes
