One must be lucid
as a crystal
to awake
inside a dream.

One must be flowing
as a river,
still as a lake.
Strong as a diamond
under pressure
to not break..
beneath the weight
of the divine
mandate.. of the
mundane.

One must be
fierce as tiger
to be king
of all who trod
upon the jungle
floor.

Alas, to rule
with wisdom
of the heavens
up above..
One must
become
The Dragon.

Emperor
of The All.
