I open a book and am transported Far, Far Away. To a world of Worlds where Dragons play. A world of freedom and glory. Where anyone may know the joy and glory, Of being a Rider of a Dragon!
A Dragon? Ah Yes, The Dragons of Pern!
So Brave and Clever. To their Riders Joined In Heart and mind and soul forever . Never alone, always one, In love forever and always together.,

Their silent speech to one another, and only rarely may they be heard by another.
Up, up together they fly, Fly to destroy an invader. For this world is under attack. A mindless invader, that keeps coming back. But with flaming breath and fragile wings they fly, To protect their world, the World Of Pern.
The people look up with joy and hope to the sky, When the Dragons Fly! Because the hope of this world is the great Dragons Of Pern.
A glint of gold, high in the sky, A flash of bronze, soars nearby.. Higher and higher, they must fly, For Love's unresistible hold The Bronze must catch the Gold! High, Higher where the air is thin and cold, They finally meet.
With their wings still abeat, With their hearts pounding in Love's sweet beat. Their riders' hearts, too are also in a sweet beat, Because their souls at this moment Joyously Meet! A moment of peace on this wonderful world!
The Dragons Of pern are the hope of a world, A world of wonder, So well expressed, That I sit and ponder "Is this what it feels like to be Impressed?" Can there ever be words enough to express, My gratitude for all the hours of enjoyment To the lady Who has created This wonderful world, The World of THE DRAGONRIDERS OF PERN!
