My Unicorn

 It's been over a year since I last published on my blog,  At this point I don't know who may still be receiving my post but here it goes.  For some reason I began thinking about unicorns and decided to do some research.  To my surprise, this mythical animal has been around for centuries and worldwide. In all the writings the unicorn is always presented as being a magical, supernatural being with different meanings, The most prevalent tale is that only pure virgins could ride it and how the unicorn saved them from harm.  I choose to present my unicorn in a positive view and also on a rescue mission.I hope you enjoy it.

 

My Unicorn

The other night I had a strange dream.

I was standing in the midst of a dense forest

surrounded by intimidating, overpowering trees

that seemed to be closing in on me.

I was afraid.

Suddenly, a majestic, mysterious & mythical

white unicorn came galloping through the woods.

The trees moved aside and even bowed before

this sleek & powerful animal.

The Unicorn stopped before me,

she neighed and moved her mane from side to side;

it seemed she was inviting me to mount.

I admit I was frightened at first, but

her presence emanated strength & energy,

her bright large eyes encouraged me

and did away with all my negativity.

Then, as happens in the presence of Unicorns,

I was floating in the air and

magically landed on my Unicorn’s broad back

(aren’t dreams wondrous?).

Together we galloped in and around the dark

labyrinth of trees and vines until

at a distance I saw a gleaming light.

Overwhelmed with peace & assurance,

I knew then all was well;

my Unicorn and I were on the right path.
