Purpose, The Purple Dragon

Purpose, The Purple Dragon 

Purpose, the Purple Dragon
stayed quietly in the bushes
waiting for rain to stop falling
waiting for clouds to part.
After awhile, quiet became 
uncomfortable 
Purpose, the purple dragon
restlessly
pawed the ground slowly
stirring dry ground into mud
her wings feeling stiff with
waiting and wanting to fly.
Peering out from the bushes
A big drop of icy rain fell
Splat! on her nose
She wanted to scramble back
Into her bushy shelter but
her wings wanted to fly.
Her scaly clawed feet were getting wet.
So Purpose, the Purple Dragon
pushed off into the rain
her scales glittering with moisture,
looked deep into the clouds
and decided to fly
to adventures beyond the clouds.

“The greatest thing in the world is not so much where 
we stand as in what direction we are moving.”
~ Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
