The Last Unicorn

Mythical wonder we try to tame,
you hold in your heart a flame.
Guiding your way with its light,
your unprecedented path now forthright.  

Leave no trace that you exist,
dissipating like the morning mist.
You fly away like a bird,
and your footsteps unheard. 

Nothing compares to your brilliance 
and time has proven your resilience.
Now you will be a legend, we hope to find.
Now you will exist, only in our mind.

I love unicorn poems and even titled two of my chapbooks with the word unicorn in the titles. Very nicely done on that awesome horse of fancy and fantasy. LUv, Andrea
