Unicorn Dream

Life’s been weighing on my soul,
and happiness feels intangible.
Alone, curled up in bed I weep
until my tears put me to sleep.

And in my dreams, I see him there,
with lion’s tail and gold-white hair.
Unicorn, will you set me free?
I have no reason left to be.

He stops and gives a dreamy stare,
I wonder what he knows or cares?
His deep blue ocean eyes aglow,
pierce the gloom of my shadow. 

I turn away, he wanders near,
till his warmth melts my icy fear.
His healing horn restores my light,
and tells me I will be all right.
