One would be a dragon,
One would fly,
One would be able to lift their soul to the sky.
Two can call terra their home,
Two can light the desire of the fire,
Two can be together forever.
Thrice will be next, as free as a bird,
Thrice will come to the ends of the earth,
Thrice will be, as calm as the sea.

reminds of me of a quote from the musical 1776
"I have come to the conclusion, that one useless man is a disgrace; that two are a law firm; and that three or more are a congress!" -

An interesting interlinking of air and earth. the flight of the birds, dragons, the way the poem sails along on the words. And the last lines thrice will come to the ends of the earth,
thrisce wil be, as calm as the sea. It's like the birds and dragons have come to roost. Beautiful. -
