I am the Dungeon Master

Roll Your Dice

I dream

Of a world

Wild

And carefree.

Where the skies

Are clear

And full

Of sunlight.

The nights

Are dark,

But the starlight

Guides our way

Our journey

Is long

And full

Of endless terrors.

But we fight

Our way through,

With courage

And a hero’s might.

We are warriors

Joined by strife.

We fear no evil

And turn down no fight.

We are breakers

Of chains,

And vows,

Hearts all the same.

Our quests lead us

Nowhere and everywhere.

We go where

We please.

We have traveled

Far and wide,

Through the

Treacherous terrain.

Full of monsters

And demons,

And those

That decay.

That is why

We love a tavern,

So we may

Drink our ale.

We reminisce

About old stories,

Swapping local

Wives tales.

I can be anybody

In this

Little world

I’ve built.

I am the bard, the villain,

And the princess.

Perhaps even,

That tavern wench too.

For I am

Your dungeon master.

And I hope your dice

Are nice to you.
