The Dragon's Lair

The Dragon's lair awaits her She knows not which way to turn This thing has made her soul stir It’s for this she’s always yearned The peacefulness her heart has known Stripped and billowing in the wind Fragile stitches where calm has been sewn Are stretched and worn paper thin The calmness pushes against the seams Like a dam that holds back raging rivers Excitement of things that build her dreams And deep in her bones she quivers The path to the lair is trodden Familiar footsteps over time Just as the grass begins to spring back Dragons beckon her continue the climb Enigmas that she needs answered Are deep in the caverns of hell Perhaps the path not yet ventured Is where the answers will dwell.

hmm, brings forth images of pursuing dangerous characters in a dangerous territory; quite courageous, like Daenerys Targaryen, a huge risk taker, who must at all costs avoid the caverns of hell. That cave system is extensive, possibly no return. x

Very very deep... Be careful of the dragons and don't let them influence you to go into their lair... You may never return.. Nice rhymes Judy..
