The First Gather!
Laughter cascades from the sky,
enveloping us, down below....
We, who gather together, smiling.
They, who gather above, rejoicing.
Can you hear the rush and whirl of wings,
as they dance in the moonsplashed night?
Dragon roars fill the rushing wind,
caressing our ears playfully...
An invitation to join
in the merriment of the Gather.
I look at bright, shining eyes,
of friends gathered in community.
Closing my eyes, I see us a-wing...
Black, shining Ebony...
Golden, delicate Thunderwing...
Purple, dancing Socrates...
Mismatched patchwork Patches...
Elusive, laughing Existing Phantom...
Flaming sunset Athelind...
and myself, reflecting you all in delight.
