Hello Little Dragon

A song and personal update

I haven’t been as active much on Medium here recently. Got removed from the rewards program because I had less than 100 followers, which I admit did/does decrease my motivation levels to publish. Arguably, not a bad thing. Who wants to read garbage published just for the sake of “getting it out there and being seen/read”? No judgement from me on anyone else. Primarily, I’m judging my own work and deeming it worthy or not for my audience, however large or small, whomever I may reach… even if my work gets stored on a hard drive that somehow gets blasted into space, then found billions of years later by some alien species… yeah, I’m writing for them too! Hope you’ve enjoyed this stream of conscious window into my mind. You’re welcome!

I’ve been reading and writing a lot actually. Also doing a lot of self-work, soul-searchy kind of stuff. Fun, cool fact: I’ve been putting a lot of attention into my musical creativity! So stay tuned on that front! As a sneak peak, here are the lyrics to what is likely to be a really long song once I finally put music to it. When I have something like a final product, I’ll update this post with a link to a FB Live recording…

Without further non-sense, I present the lyrics to the upcoming song “Hello Little Dragon” by MWThayer:

Chasing a dragon in a dream
Living a dream that’s not mine
I fear I am the dragon dreaming
And I might not wake up in time
Why not? Why not be human?

Chasing a dragon in a dream
Fearing a fear not my own
I know I am the dragon dreaming
This sleeping dragon knows its bones
Why? Why feel human?

I am flesh and bone dreaming a life
I am flesh and blood all of the time
I am flesh and soul but my soul isn’t mine
This little dragon knows its bones

Dancing, a dragon in a scene
Hearing a bittersweet song
I feel I am the dragon dancing
I could just wish this world gone
But why? Why again, human?

Flowing with the current’s undertow
Falling with the others in the flood
I swim where the dragon’s flowing
This coursing dragon knows its blood
So what? So what, now human?

I am flesh and bone leave me alone
I am flesh and blood never at home
I am flesh and soul, can’t sell what I don’t own
This little dragon knows its bones

I am flesh and bone, what’s divine?
I am flesh and blood, who divides?
I am flesh and soul, my choice, but do you decide?
This little dragon knows its soul

We are we, everything but not right now
I am me, everyone but not, somehow
Leave they and them be, who are you to allow
Let us speak our truth and then take our bow
When dust becomes words, and words become wind,
When wind becomes dust, and dust back to word again…
Do the rules still apply?
When you are me, am I?

Hello little dragon

<Next part rapped, screamed, growled, mumbled… not sure, but going for fast, raw energy and hopefully one breath>

I am blood and bone and soul and you and I are anesthetized to us and we and everything when everyone is just and I and me where all our choices should be free but we give up our power and authenticity… all just to be this…

I am flesh and bone dreaming a life
I am flesh and blood all of the time
I am flesh and soul but my soul isn’t mine

I am flesh and bone and never alone
I am flesh and blood always at home
I am flesh and soul, can’t sell what I don’t own

We are we, everything but not right now
I am me, everyone but not, somehow
Leave they and them be, who are you to allow
Let us speak our truth and then take our bow
When dust becomes words, and words become wind,
When wind becomes dust, and dust back to word again…
Do the rules still apply?
When you are me, am I?
