Lumbering in their attacks
five in all with weapons and warnings
Coordinated, covering a swath
through snow and ice
Bellowing steam against the
fortress of cold
Unlocking the ancient paths
My children’s grandfather once
commandeered one of these dragons
Often in deepest night and always
in bitterest cold
He drove back the encroaching
dangers to open the way
for those less armed
Visual for unseen battles in
hidden dimensions
that require no less commitment
