The Fairy and the Beast
I'm the beast that music calms
I'm the mud where flowers grow
I'm a tiger and a rabbit
I'm a dog that's not for show
I'm impulsive and erratic
My path I may not know
My vision, sometimes misty
For I'm always on the go
In my energetic haste
I often stub my toe
Sometimes I err in honesty
As I swim against the flow
One thing that I am sure of
When I'm wandering to and fro
Is that I'm only mortal
But... I see the fairies glow
