Mother of the Dawn

She stands amidst a waste of life, 

the ashes of a birthright burning,

a dragon in a land of sheep, 

willing to kill her kingdom to be queen. 

Decrees that those who do not bend

must break, the pieces of the 

shattered remains of her madness. 

The breaker of armies and 

pyro with soldiers and their sons, 

soldering any will of iron. 

Born of lightning and smoldering legacy,

she claims what is hers with Fire and Blood. 

But as she stands amidst the requiem of a funeral pyre, 

her determination is as bright as her dragon’s fire. 

Declaring that no flame is to be bought or sold, 

and with dried blood makes her declaration known. 

They called her “mother” 

as she stood in the light of day. 

Sunlight can start wildfires, 

and she is burning her path in the world as both. 

Change is a fire, 

and she’s the first of embers. 

Dragons of conquest, 

a sunrise over the water. 

She is both, 

mad with her power and 

the mother’s mercy, 

the Promise of the Dawn.

As Game of Thrones’ Daenerys Stormborn of House Targaryen, 

The Mother of Dragons, 

The Unburnt, 

The Breaker of Chains, 

her actress, Emilia Clarke, survived two brain aneurysms. 

“You walk out on set, and you play a badass, and you walk through fire, 

and that really became the thing that saved me from 

contemplating my own mortality.” 

The Mother of her Own Dawn, 

she broke her own chains, 

tamed her own fire, 

and she didn’t need her dragons to do it.
