A winged chimera of disparate parts
A lion, goat, and serpent in one form
A beast that flies and roars and bites and darts
A marvel of creation, far from norm
Some say it is a symbol of desire
A fusion of the passions and the mind
Some say it is a monster to admire
A wonder of the world, both fierce and kind
But I say it is more than what it seems
A creature of imagination's power
A vision of the poet's wildest dreams
A challenge to the limits of the hour
For who can say what beauty lies within
A winged chimera of disparate skin

Polyphia – Chimera
