did i summon that dragon?
or did it come here
for me
dancing
with its luminous globular
gem?
this crystal
clear
carries my heart
into and across uncharted oceans
of enchantment

Happy Lunar New Year! We have entered the year of the dragon and so here is a poem I wrote over four and a half years ago, titled simply, dragon. Unbeknownst to me then, I was indeed truly entering unchartered oceans of enchantment in ways which were beyond my wildest dreams… beyond even, my own imaginative capacity. So much has transpired in these past four and a half years, and now it is already 2024—the year of the dragon itself. I believe the most magical is still yet to come. Get ready!

Wishing all of you a wonderful and beautiful new year🐉🔮
