DRAGON HEART

The human heart is given might
much greater than its size.
The gift of vigor, both broad and deep,
providing strength enough to rise.

No man ever faces a dragon
and does not drawn upon this well
of power and courage and fortitude
to knock on the gates of Hell.

Dragon hunters are a fearsome lot--
all limitations they must shun.
They draw a line, and stand toe to toe,
when instinct shouts at them to run.

With broad sword or spear or hacking axe
they wade in with gusto and ire.
For a smaller scale 'gainst towering foe
helps avoid the dragon’s fire.
