Notes About The Poem

For Anna

Listen to poem:

Horses and Unicorns

Voice: Sara Ella

***

You found me here
Broken and hurting
Your eyes are sad
Where do you come from?

This place is far
Far from all this madness
All these people
Running without
Meaningful destination

They do not listen
They do not see
But you do
And I
Can I please climb your back
And you carry me
Away from here?

And while we walk
I shed my tears
I shed my pain
And grow my wings
You grow your horn
And then we run
And then we run

Carol B. November 24, 2016 at 11:54 PM I really really like this poem. I love the vulnerability expressed in this poem! It's great when we find that one person we can exhale and open up to and heal and be free and at peace. Darren White November 25, 2016 at 12:09 AM Indeed :) It is written for my friend Anna. And yes, that is exactly how it is meant.
