Emerald eyes
glowed faintly in the mist of twilight
Large ruby wings spread out
to meet the coming of the night
He would again await the darkness of sleep
the quiet of peace
Irridecent scales shimmered
in the moonlight
Talons of gold glittered dangerously
He was a sight to behold
the last of his kind
So stately and regal
So full of magic and awe
He sat in his cave
darkness surrounding him
No light came in
except the occasional glow of his own breath
Everything had changed
The world had evolved
into something different
The time of the dragons was over
finished
One dragon was all that remained
and his time drew near
He was a glorious creature
that the world would only remember as legend and myth
Never again would he fly through the skies
Never again would the world set eyes on this magnificent
dragon
