Unicornian Ways

By Silver Spectre

Would you understand if I brought you my forest
Walked you through my cool still waters
Cup in my hands the tears of my folly
Laid on your lips what my tears fallen dreamed

Would you think me foolish for the windmills I’ve raided
For the chasing of shadows gleaming signs of fairytales
For the fabled myth of the unicorn is fleeting
Like the end of the rainbow when breached is just mist

Don’t long to be her lost in the silhouette of angels
Casting shadows long restless from the temple I built
Come to me as you are in the stillness of your beauty
And watch me awaken with the touch of your heart

Please forgive me for my unicornian ways
