Death is Defeated
Black and bleak the sky is grey
The mountains stark against the sky
A dragon appears, terrible and menacing, wings extended in the sky
A gaping maw, a noise so thunderous and deafening the heavens crumble and collapse
all that is left is the mountain, the void, and the menace
who is left unhindered
who can hold their bleeding heart and gather the air to whisper a word of hope
who knows the courage
who dwells in the absence of terror and knows no fear
when all is expunged
and all is crushed
the world demolished
loaded with words from the dragon
knowledge, memory, truth, and terror
is the arsenal of the dragon slayer
a swift and savage killing blow
rendered death unto our foe
burgeoning with the light of life
to supplant the darkness, to end the strife
A Brilliance flourishes that quenches thirst
pools at our feet, and hopes for the first
first hope
first flower
first dream
the image of beauty we all create when happiness bursts forth
from the laughter of victory
