Ballad Of The Dragon

You were walking across the lake.
Drinking coffee,half awake.
And you stumble upon a cave.

You think to yourself,is it dangerous?
Does it have a grizzly bear?
Or maybe,a nymph that is fair?

The wind then gently blows into your hair.
And you give the cave a curious stare.
Your fear,you now decided to bear.

And you carefully walked into there.
At first look,you didn't see much.
Then,you spot piles of gold.

On the corners of the cave,mold.
""This is dangerous!"",you were told.
But your excitement,you could no longer hold.

You reached to inspect the treasure.
But you saw a sleeping dragon, a safety measure.
Red scales,yellow eyes.

You try not to wake it up.
And you kept your mouth completely shut.
The dragon soon wakes up and inspects you.

""Fear not,mortal."",said the dragon.
And you wanted someone to save you,you froze in fear.
And you held in a hopeful tear.

To your surprise,the dragon seemed calm.
And did not mean any harm.
The dragon says, ""You are safe. But you are not supposted to be here.""

Then,you remember the tales you heard.
Of people who come back home,hurt.
You apologize to the dragon.

You say, ""I'll be on my way."".
You turn to leave,but the dragon stays in your way.
He offers you a prize for not stealing his loot.

He said, ""Let's fly!"".
You climbed onto him and went into the sky.
Past clouds,mountains.

Worlds,small and big.
You flied together.
And you shall remember this forever.

He sends you home,however.
Flies off,and you remembered this moment forever.
