Have you ever fallen in love with a unicorn?
I have..... let me explain.
He was a dreamer... never settled....
A searcher, a drifter, and he slept standing up.
Take my word as truth.
Don't make sudden movements
or your unicorn will disappear. I have proof.
He resurfaces only in your dreams.
He will trot towards you, and beckon you
to climb upon his back.
It's hypnotizing.
Sweep you off your feet
and proudly trot with you on sandy beaches.
Splashes in bright rainy sun showers
his wing span is beautifully impressive
We flew over grassy mountains and bright rainbows
blissfully with a smooth glide.
I stretch my arms to feel
the cool misty clouds run through my fingertips...
We landed with ease... with a light pounce
and into a stylish slow gallop
I leaned over to wrap my arms around his neck
holding on firmly for comfort.
We paused for a taste of the blue ocean...
Suddenly, a loud wave crashed into the shore
this startled my unicorn.
We both turned simultaneously and
perfectly synchronized with the wind
to watch the large waves edged in white foam
slowly fade and receed into the ocean.
As we watched the cascading sand..
My unicorn started daydreaming about
his next mystical adventure....
but I was hoping to experience more of his whimsical charm
I faced him to grasp his stare and interrupt his dream.
reached out to carress him for comfort,
but he faded into sparkles of many colors
and blended with the sand.
Slowly I opened my eyes to my dim room.
The rain relishly hitting my window pane.
The morning appeared dimsal.
Reminiscing my dream.
There is no such thing as charming unicorns.
