The Place of Slumber 6
It saw her there within the dark
Let out an enormous roar
She stood her ground, without a scream.
Its intentions, hers to explore.
She asked of it just why it did
Scare all upon the earth.
It said that all were scared of him
Since the beginning, time of birth.
It thought it was the only way
To ever have anything, its own
So stealing those, the captured, here,
Made it happy, feeling whole.
She thought a moment, then reached out
To just touch the giant beast
A gesture never before witnessed
By anything, to say the least.
