The Dragon Within Poetic Trilogy
Dragon lore exists deeply imprinted within all major cultures throughout history and time. Depicted as huge monstrosities of elemental force, Dragons have been linked, in legend and myth, with both the creation and destruction of the world. they have battled gods on the side of both good and evil, they have collected huge hoards of treasure, and they have unlocked the mysteries of the universe. They are feared for their massive strength, renowned for their superb intellect, and revered for their magnificent wisdom. they represent something beyond what we, as humans, can grasp in matter of all things finite. Within the pages of Dragon Within: Redemption, you will read poems spanning topics such as love, anger, power, battle, erotica, sadness, and death. You will see the darkness of each word penned upon pages made red with blood and pain, yet washed clean by the powers of hope, redemption and love. You will feel a passion and intensity of purpose stemming from a current hidden deep within. Each of us hides this current of identity so deeply that it can be accessed only when we release you Dragon Within.
Within the depth of our souls, beyond even the fathoms centered in our constructed identities, resides the vibrational condition of redemption from all things external. But this redemption brings with it not just the unbounded skies of freedom; for even in the letting go of what we were told to be, comes a pain that stings just as sharply as any mortal or physical would ever could. Yet, as much as this process of letting go hurts, it is necessary if we are to even hear the resonating essence of truth. For this is truth: The objective realization that we are, and will forever be, defined by only that which lies within. And once this truth is assimilated into the very substance of creation still residing within us, we will then be released to hear its resonance and grow into the light. For truth brings light and cannot do otherwise. It is time to begin the next phase of our spiritual development within the poems bled upon these once blank pages. It is time to take the next step into the resonating powers possessed by truth, light, and creation. Only then we will grow. Only then will we be one step closer to releasing our Dragon Within.
Roberto Vecchi continues in the poetic development of the last of the three spiritual truths. Beginning with Dragon Within - Redemption, wherein the raw, emotional rhymes brought us closer to, and emerged from, the darkness into the redemptive light of self; continuing with Dragon Within - Resonance, wherein the light of redemption shone brightly the objective harmony of listening to the resonating truth within; and finally, culminating in the third and final objective condition, Roberto illustrates the power of being one with the objective self in Dragon Within - Awakening.
There is a word, distorted over time to fit the interpretations of our changing subjective perspectives, that echoes with the promise of something greater, something more, and something real. It carries with it on its unfurled wings of redemption, a truth resonating deeper than we ever thought our minds could experience. But this experience is not rooted in any one of our simple senses; rather, its very nature is that of soul, that of trust, and that of love. For love can only be, and nothing less. To exist as love, objective love beyond the interpretations of what could have been, is, or will be, is a dream we cannot possibly hope to become unless we open ourselves to the necessary darkness preceding redemption, the lies preceding truth and its harsh but comforting resonance, and the deep, subjective sleep preceding a true objective awakening. Much like the beasts known only as Dragons who held mastery over their world, we too can hold that same mastery over the world within our minds, bodies, and wills. Herein, you will find the conclusion to that poetic journey:
