Chest of Treasures
By DragonEyzs
She lay in a dark recess deep within her lair
Her breath sent particles of dust swirling in the air
Eyes of green were locked on the treasure chest
Atop a granite slab it did rest
Sensitive ears heard the human's step
As softly through the corridors he crept
Closing her eyes she bade her time
For, this kind of thief, she did not mind
He sought to take the jewels and gold
"A Dragon's hoard from days of old"
Many treasures the chest did hold
A fortune he was told
She watched as the top he raised
His eyes grew wide, the treasure he gazed
Pity flowed within her heart
As he tore the chest apart
Such anguish he expressed
As the Dragon's eyes he met
A tear crept slowly down her golden scales
Upon the dusty cavern floor it fell
Retrieving the pieces of her treasure box
She was happy it was never locked
Humans came and humans went
Never would they comprehend
A Dragon's hoard
Is not jewels or gold in a wooden box stored
It's a lifetime of memories shared
Ancient wisdom taught by those who care
