Unicorn Dream
62“But within me the unicorn still remains, a formless shadow in the spaces of my mind”—Josephine Bradley, In Pursuit of the Unicorn
What stately beauty my eyes glimpse
Drive-by splendor of glimmering dream
flashed onto the retina of imagination
Here and gone, caught forever in a mind
enthralled by grace. Reveal the heart
hard held, frigid, petrified bewitched with
ephemeral illusions of truth. The instance of
desire diffuses, softens the bulwark of emotions
Softened core remembers, allowing second glance
A euphoric dissolution of life’s hand wrought chains
concedes exhilaration. Enchanted gaze, revelation
aware again, living, breathing, loving. Hard held fist
blossoms revealing passion, warmth, joy
Agony, fury, misery spirit away, butterflies in a tornado
Alluring glimpse, shimmering rapture of days long gone
Caught by headlights, flickering on consciousness
Myth or fiction, truth and beauty embodied
Espied with heart’s pureness, glimpsed through love
Living now where chains once held hard
Melting, blooming, beginning , arising, discovering
lost self anew. Freedom found, shackled no longer
wild tenderness overflowing, fierce goodness,
unconquerable truth. Play with me, befriend my soul
Guide my steps past old truth into new.
Glimpsed in a moment, engraved a lifetime
Renewed spirit embraces reborn soul
Mysterious legend glanced but a second
Instills corporeal, guileless truth to mortals
Released from servitude to past afflictions
Mythical bringer of wisdom, truth and hope
Entices me to lay down the yoke of hurt
Escorting, mentoring, inspiring me to love
