I turned into a Unicorn- so silky-white, with wings and horn, to prance and dance on clouds up there and spend my days surveying air- to watch how twinkling stars are born. I stopped to visit clouds of rain- those darker ones that are a pain, as they release their water flow on earthly beings down below who pray for sunny skies in vane. But soon, I saw a fluffy one- the kind that always blocks the sun and found it best to take a snooze. While in the breeze- I took a cruise upon a cloud so softly spun. At night, I flew up near the moon- saw how the tides are kept in tune. Come morn, I pranced toward the sun to see how the new dawn is done- then leads me on to bright high noon. When day turns dark, stardust I find- the finest and most brilliant kind, to sprinkle on my wings so white. Stored there, I shake the starry light on those below, named Humankind. And after that, I fly up far to find the place where blessings are. I seek the ones of dearest worth, and shower them upon the Earth; shared gifts from me- peace Avatar.
