Many Feared Merlin

Merlin had a way that turned into animal attraction
This often led him into a natural kind of satisfaction
Creatures sensed his cleverness and his stealth
He often fixed a wing or nursed them back to health

His magic was well known in the woods beyond the veil
He had a psychic sixth sense that did not often pale
Humans feared his unnatural confidence and spiritual way.
They often turned and scampered off when he began to play.

He was childlike, not childish, a magician with a keen eye.
He often saw what would happen to humans bye and bye.
Merlin had mystical powers, honed by him so true.
Many were fearful of his ethereal spirit and aura of royal blue.

With those astral images on his cone-hat, Merlin could really whirl and twirl 'em! ~ Sha-Man

Merlin was quite a character, methinks, with his "ethereal spirit and aura of royal blue."

He was totally something beyond the veil.
