Unicorn's Maiden

(This poem does not belong to me, just found it on google and thought it went quite well with the picture)



The Land of the Unicorns

I awoke one morning,
to a land that was new.
Where the clouds were white,
and the sky a soft blue.

This land was strange,
there was nothing I knew.
So I sat there on the soft,
green moss,
and contemplated what to do.

But then,
out of the corner of my eye,
I saw a light shimmer.
The light came from the trees.
So pure, so beautiful,
but barely visible through
the thick leaves.

It was a pale pale white,
and sparkled like the dawn,
peeking up through the night.

Then, I saw,
what had caused the light.
It was a peaceful unicorn
walking gracefully through the
night.

At first I was frightened.
But then my fear was no more.
The unicorn came to talk to me
and made me awe all the more.

He said,"Dear child,
be not afraid.
Here in the Land of Unicorns
we do whatever you bade.
While here be peaceful and calm.
Let no troubles enter your mind.
You are welcome here."

I most humbly replied,
"Thank you kind sir,
I will do as you say,
now please,
let me get on your back.
Take me away."

He didn't reply,
only shook his head.
Then walked softly off
as I layed down on my soft
green bed.
