Fairy of Dragon’s Cave

The fairy of the dragon’s cave

Had naught but fish to talk to

Never minding danger near

for the beast slept the years through

Her task to sing the dragon

back to sleep if ever it should wake

Practicing on koi and carp

For freedom did she ache

Tiny trips to rejuvenate

under full moon and leafy tree

the fairy began to wander farther on

risking the dragon’s discovery
