Finding Self

Modeerf the dragon
lived inside
a mountain
in the cave he was born in
by a waterfall fountain
he snacked on vines
that tasted like wine
hid in safety
from dragon hunters
stayed too long and
grew too large to leave
one day in desperation
he polished a flat rock
into a mirror finish and
saw that his reflection was
the shape of a man
named Freedom
