Dragon

What is in that word?

In that one word

Is promise of fantasy

Of dreams undreamed,

Of stories untold

It is all that once was and will always be,

Yet never was and will never be again

It is the calm before the storm

And the storm before the calm

That word is a trial by fire,

Water, wind, and earth.

It is the essence of freedom,

And the cage of the chained

That one word alone has the power

To evoke ancient darkness,

Summon primeval light,

And banish the worthy into

Eternal
