Some people are are afraid Of caves, because they're dark I have seen them stay At the mouth and not embark... Well, I am the adventurous type And almost anywhere I'll go I don't bother listening to all the hype About the things I don't know. So I start walking into the cave Amid the stalagmites and rock There was little to fear, I was brave Until the walls began to talk... "Who goes there?" I cried out And no response I got-- "Anyone there?" again I did shout Again, no answer, so on I walked... I came to a cavern full of light Which could not possibly be-- Holding signs that stood out from the night And they were all welcoming me...? They said they needed the help of one Who was small, purple and short-- And had within him the fire of the sun And the strength to tear down a fort. Well, I went where they told me to go And breathed fire on all the right spots Finally, rocks began to roll Outward--that's what they sought! A way out of this miserable cave That they couldn't use without force. They all cheered--all them I had saved From dying of boredom, of course... I made it back to the light of day And all the people standing Asked me about the noise that was made And I ignored their demanding. "One with a heart of gold can smash through the hardest rock, for they have a stronger heart than cold stone." --Kha'Selim 'One Reed and Seven Stars' Hey Echo Rhayne, hope you enjoy the rest of the work here at the Pub!

I am overwhelmed...to be in the presence of a truly great poet like yourself. Yet, such dragons like yourself should never be doubted! --Jamie  |
