It’s because of things they’ve seen humans do.
Humans show no respect for ancient trees
Rare flowers, ferns, nor ancient rock
They dam up all free rivers
Ancient fairy streams they block.
They try to chop down every tree
And dig up all the land
They crave every fish in every lake
And they soil the ocean’s sand.
They turn ancient forests into tree farms
Their nets choke the rivers life
They are the sworn enemies of diversity
Human greed is the source of strife.
When humans are done the land is always
Unlike it ever was before
A lifeless land devoid of trees
No safe home for bear nor boar.
No more ancient songs will flow from a fairy stream
No bright fish swim a deep blue lake
It’s just the way they are these human kind
They’ve only learned to grasp and take.
For humans are just a fledgling race
Not as ancient as dwarves and elves
Not yet wise enough to consider others
As important as themselves.
Nyber knows well enough the ways of old
He knows some Dragonspeak
One day the humans will all grow up
And the old ways they will seek.
They will hear the ancient music from the planets
And singing from all the stars
They’ll feel the sacred energy from their Mother Earth
And learn the old tales of Mars.
They’ll hear the tones within the tones
Of fiery sunset, sand, and sea
They will learn the old ways of water and fire
And know sacred life dwells in every tree.
They will love walking much more softly
Thus not disturbing gentle Gnomes
They will better learn to build their houses
And not wreck forest homes.
They will learn to see the Dragons
Speak to Bugbears, Dwarves, and Elves
They’ll ride swift and free on wild griffin back
And really enjoy themselves.
Then all ancient forests will be finally free
And never need to be patrolled
Then new time will turn full circle
And cycle back to a time of old.
But for now the young wizard, Nyber Khan
Looks down from his lofty perch
With loving self-protection
On an ancient forest of pine and birch.
Upon ebon battlements of stone and light
Alone he darkly stands
Wearing robes of much older powers
He surveys his armored bands.
His dark blue sword of elven steel
Shimmers straight and true
A Runic Bow spans his broad, strong back
A quiver of seeking arrows too.
Hesper The Elven Princess. (Poem two.)
Hesper is a wild turquoise dragon
She loves to soar the deep blue sky
And Nyber Khan the brash young wizard
Just loves to watch her fly.
She has diamond scales beyond royal blue
She sprays a wicked blue-white flame
Hesper has taught Nyber some dragon-speak
So Nyber can speak her true name.
She is as fast as light and dragon links
With bold Nyber while in flight
Barely larger than a giant eagle
She’s full scale in any fight.
Her almond eyes are the deepest scarlet
Her pupils catlike and forest green
Her Dragonsight penetrates any darkness
And thus see’s things almost never seen.
She dearly loves to tease wild griffins
As she dive-bombs the goblin troops
Nyber’s Troops who patrol the land
In swift, concentric, tough loops.
It’s all just good, clean, dragon sport
Her team is never close to being harmed
The wild griffins and generals ignore her
But the goblins get a little alarmed.
Nyber smiles and Hesper just knows
Thus perfect dragon link gets done
Earthbound Nyber gets quite a ride
As sweet Hesper has her fun.
For he then see’s all a dragon sees
As wild Hesper soars the sky
In colors he’s never seen before
As forest and field fly by.
Hesper loves to link up at night
