Dreaming Of Dragons
Thread threatened the world
when dragons were born
their wings they unfurled
that triumphant morn

Thread threatened all Pern
so the dragons flew
for Turn after Turn
with their dragonrider crew

Thread threatened from afar
the dragons did as AIVAS said
to shift the Red Star
from high over head

Now Thread is gone
and dragons are free
to lift voices in song
or come to visit me.

I Am Ruth
Without his help
I would never have hatched
but from that day on
we were perfectly matched

He was neither one thing or another
but neither was I
the only thing that mattered
was being able to fly

In secret we fought, against
the dreaded Thread
and once I helped save him
from the fever Firehead

We were good at rescues
once making my white hide black
we searched and we found
then bought the Queen egg back

And when Sharra was hidden
by her Lord Holder brother
we went to her rescue
before he wed her to another

With the help of some friends
and the Fire Lizard dreams
we found AIVAS and put
a stop to Toric's schemes

I floated around aboard a ship
when we retrieved Sallah our hero
it was a very strange feeling
being in a Gravity of Zero

We were even involved
in a quest so bizarre
with the use of some engines
we moved the Red Star

Lavan Firestorm
The fire burnt from deep inside
like an awful living thing
when he finally let it loose
it flew like a bird on the wing

The boys who had bullied
and tortured him every day
burned away in the fire that
he instinctively sent their way

No one knew what to do
with the boy of living flame
he had killed with his fire
but he was not to blame

so to teach him some control
they sent him off toschool
there his Companion helped him
until the fire was his to rule

Then came the war with Karse
and his flame was in demand
but to stop the bitter enemy
fire killed him to save his land.

Tia
She was only seven years old
when the plague changed her life
Doctor Kenny could not help her
with medicine or surgical knife

With Theodore E Bear beside her
She cried "I had not begun to live"
He knew she was intelligent
and had so much more to give

So he arranged to help her
and into a shell she went
and after years of schooling
her life as a curier ship she spent

But although her life was happy
there was one thing she missed so much
so she had a robotic body built
so she could feel a human touch

The Warrior
He was an exile from his world
though his honour was intact
he knew his luck was gone
but he didn't hesitate to act
his honour would demand it
that these people he would aid
no matter what the danger
nor what the cost he paid
the vicious fighting spilled his blood
and left him clinging on to life
but when it was all over
there was an end to strife

Psychic Connections
Seeing things through others eyes
feeling things inside their hearts
thinking thoughts inside their minds
touching them with other arts

Lifting things from far away
Special Talents coming through
making two seem like one
mental connections binding you

Deep within the psychic mind
Talents lie undiscovered yet
but with some training and a little help
the psychic forces can be set
