The Unicorn

And there ...
I saw the unicorn, 
The sunlight beamed
Off her golden horn

She just stood there
By the edge of the brook,
Never startled ...
As I stopped to look

It was just her and I
While all time stopped,
Then, to the waters
Down her head dropped

To take a drink
Nibble at the grass,
I cannot tell you
How much time did pass

The unicorn saw me
For a moment midday,
I just turned around
And I walked away ...

Dear Kelly, Your poem transports me to a magical realm where the ethereal beauty of the unicorn captivates the soul. I loved the imagery of the sunlight dancing off her golden horn, and her serene presence by the brook filled me with a sense of wonder and tranquility. Your words evoke a fleeting yet profound encounter, a moment suspended in time where the ordinary world fades away. It leaves me pondering the mysteries of existence and the fleeting nature of such enchanting moments. What a great, mesmerizing journey into the realm of fantasy. - Blessings, Daniel
