'The Moon Dragon Reawakens'

The dragon sleeps,
once again peaceful,
and doesn’t hear the footsteps

The broken eggs,
cracked and torn,
are no longer worth protecting

The moon dragon,
again slumbering in the nestled cave
doesn’t see the long silvery spear

But it is heard for miles,
when the spear slams down,
and the moon dragon roars

The tip splinters,
and the explorers freeze in fear,
when the dragon once again awakens

The claws slash,
screams and cries of earth’s bravest fill the air
this time she won’t let them return

The dragon settles around her broken eggs
Content to sleep again
And the humans know nothing
