The Epic of the Dreamer's Ascent

Beneath the mountain's ancient, mossy shroud,

Where heroes and thieves have dared not allowed,

Lies a secret realm known to a chosen few,

Where dragons, in their slumber, dreams pursue.

Their fiery breath, a whispered legend's dread,

Keeps all who pass, in fearful silence, led.

Yet, in the dim-lit cavern's hidden core,

A child's heart dreams of something more.

No fear of dragon's wrath in her heart resides,

In the cavern's depths, where adventure hides.

A clever child with eyes of moonlit gleam,

Yearns to take her dream to the azure's seam.

With silent steps, she traces an ancient chart,

To the cavern where dragons and shadows depart,

Their snores like ancient songs, hummed and deep,

Yet, the child's courage her secrets shall keep.

She weaves a tale of silken wings and air,

Of dragons, bold, that none could ensnare,

With whispered words, she tiptoes past their dreams,

To set her own adrift on moonbeam streams.

Oh, the dragons sleep, but they don't yet know,

The dreams this child's heart begins to sow,

With a kite in hand, woven with hopes untold,

She steps into the night's starry threshold.

Above the mountain's towering, misty crest,

She soars, in moonlight's soft, ethereal caress,

The dragons dream on, their slumber undisturbed,

As the child ascends, where the heavens curved.

In the realm where fear may hold its sway,

A clever child's spirit finds its way,

She dared to dream, and dared to fly,

Into the starry canvas of the boundless sky.

In dreams of youth, we paint with vibrant light,

To conquer shadows, embrace the endless flight,

For even where dragons' shadows loom,

A dreamer's spirit can pierce the night's gloom.

As she soared, the stars became her guides,

Leading her through the cosmic tides,

Past constellations, woven tales of old,

In the heart of dreams, her destiny unfolds.

She danced with comets, kissed the Milky Way,

Chasing the dawn and dusk through night and day,

The dragons slept, oblivious to the feat,

Of a fearless dreamer's journey, pure and sweet.

Through realms of clouds and storms' wild embrace,

She carved her path with courage and grace,

On wings of dreams, she soared so high,

Reaching the vault where dreams touch the sky.

The dragons below, in their ancient keep,

Slept on, in the cavern's eternal deep,

While the child, a dreamer, flew so free,

In the endless expanse of the boundless sea.

So remember this tale of a dreamer's quest,

To follow one's heart, to be one's best,

For even where dragons' shadows loom,

A dreamer's spirit can pierce the darkest gloom.

In the epic saga of dreams and flight,

The child became a beacon of radiant light,

A testament to courage and dreams unfurled,

In the endless tapestry of the wide, wide world.
