Timeless

Many speak of courage and the dragons that they meet But what of the dragon within, deep within the deep A beast so terrifying, it’s made many a strong man weep No flames bursting from its maw Instead a song so captivating it lulls you to sleep All other dragons are scales in its hide One must enter its lair alone and bow at its feet You must respect its power before you draw your sword Because once you stab its heart you in turn pierce your own Mustering this kind of courage is no easy feat By killing the dragon you also kill yourself You are reborn in the womb of wombs You awake to the world humbled and renewed For it's embracing the truth of this beast That allows you the clarity to recognize peace

The dragons that slay us and the ones we wish to slay. A deeper message here that I love to probe.
