THE UNICORN 

Do you know how to care
For a Unicorn?
Looks like a horse.
It isn't.

I look like a woman.
I'm not.
Artist...
Almost extinct:

So many others,
With strapped on Horns,
Posturing, Pretending,
Faux Unicorns.

Prancing ego dance
Romancing the been befores.
Picasso? Monet? Chagall?
Give me more!
Just a Glance.

True Unicorns...
Play in Lonely fields.
Feeling their way
To save Havens.

Do you know,
How to take care of a Unicorn?
Your faith feeds them.
Your Love makes them shine.
Your acceptance
Frees them to sprout Wings,
And ask you to join them
On their Flights of Fancy.

Or your Doubt and Judgment,
Make them Fade into
Yesterdays Dream.

And you are left with only a Sterile mule.

(As the Unicorn must go elsewhere,
A kinder field to graze...
No where near your
Disbelieving, critical gaze) edit

You question
My fear of someone so welcome
In Society?

For I am a Unicorn.
And if I ask you
To Love me:
And you can't.
You have the power to make me Fade Away.

So come to me Slowly,
With an Easy Smile.
A calm open hand,
To quiet my shivering flamk,
Assuring me,
You can take care of a Unicorn.

And I will...
Feed in your Garden
And invite you,
To Fly with me further than you ever Dreamed

MIMIV.
