Early One Morning

I watched as the last star of night faded out And sunlight filtered over the distance The horizon simmering on amber seas I watched from the shore. The gentle ripples of dawn tide awaken A sleeping world and here on the silent beach My hushed eyes observed the rainbowed unicorns As they came to play. Tentative hooves tasting the chill of the sea As sparkling silver horns enraptured my gaze While frolicking in my vision unaware Of my staring eyes. The magical realm of a unicorn dream Cantering over sands of reality A sweet cornucopia of illusion I could clearly see. Sprites deftly weaving garlands in flowing manes Enhancing the serene ethereal beauty That gazed out from within your liquid brown eyes Had I then been seen? My fingers reached out gently into your dream To slowly caress smooth satin rainbow hair And touched briefly the regal silver spiral Your imperial crown. Your soft quivering muzzle whispered a breeze And I was enchanted by magical sighs Taking me to a world where I longed to be I saw in your eyes.
