The Magic Pond

It was a magical night.
Twilight was graying the cattails.   The crickets
And the frogs were orchestra-auditioning 
Forming a group sing.

Samantha, a faerie, whose specialty was spreading delight,
Was amid the throng, singing a lullaby to her neonate
Lil Hop.

The woods were getting darker.  Nocturnal animals
Came out to play.  Raccoons were in the lead, 
followed by the opossums 
All sharing a universal ring.

Samantha sensed the beautiful mystical creature a moment before 
He approached the pond.  Lil Hop sensed him too 
because the suckling had stopped.

Even the Fox was silent as the tall elegant shiny silvery-white unicorn 
Approached the pond.  Samantha held her breath, 
knowing one loud breath 
Could spook him.  
We all looked at him in amazement 
as he plunged into 
Magic pond and disappeared.

It was a mystical, magical sight.
