Where the Dragons Are...

The Dragon roars...and you answer,
ignited by life’s flame, radiant yet fleeting.

Where the horizon stretches without end,
where no mountain ever stands tall enough, there you ascend.

You soar... bearing the vitality of a newborn dawn,
loud as thunder, gentle as rain.

The mortal earth could not contain you;
You belong where the Dragons are.

Time moves on... your presence remains titanic,
a love you left behind, whole and unbroken.

On your twenty-sixth birthday,
you danced among the heavens but no longer alone.

I know... I feel it,
that your life in heaven has only just begun.

Aki… are you happy up there with Dadog now?

You must be. After all, you were always each other’s might.

Happy 26th, Aki. Pag enjoy mo ni papang dha.
