dream dragon


in the dark beyond midnight
the village quiet is broken
by the sleep filled call
of a dream woken small boy
duty calls and i arise
to pierce the night blackness
with light and touch
and with soft mutterings
so slay the dream dragon
find teddy bear and relegate
the torment of a nightmare
to yesterday and no more
