The Unicorn, unbridled by reality,

Showed to this eye an image lost to me.

It wasn't wild, it wasn't tame, what was it there?

Hooves of steeled-enamour when it pranced.

A single spiraled horn against starry lazers glanced.

Rearing, a whirl of mane, stomping gallop, and angel's dust;

The cloud left behind assured to me reality was not to trust.

Still entranced, still dissipating, no horizons- only fantasies.

Before I knew, a snorting and a whinney, followed by misty spray.

Startled and shook, over my shoulder I looked to another day.

In this mystic creatures eye could see a time lost to me.

This innocence and fairy world, why familiar to my eye?

A babe, all alone, and wrapped in garbs of silk-worm cloth.

Gurgling lips, and star-bright eyes playing to the reaching hand;

At whose wrinkled-plump digits a fairy does dance.

What stillness in this majestic beast's stare!

What silence in the Unicorn's mighty breaths!

What a portal to this most forgotten land!

 Amidst the Unicorn's eye, my own sight is reborn.

This is me, my heaven's birth, outside of reality.

I still can't speak what I see today.

I can hardly, but cry in claim of sight.

Why, I look to Mommy, do I have to forget;

I look so happy in this other place?

Years later, many memories forgotten and passed,

Laying in bed; surrounded by lights; gurgling lips;

Hands wrinkled, more so than before... a familiarity.

My eyes are glazed, returning to innocence-

Reality seems but a dream to me.

I hallucinate strange metallic plunkitty-plunks.

The nurses leave me alone again.

A whinney, a snort, a misty spray upon my face.

I stare, not shook nor startled, and smile large.

Mommy, I see you now know what I tried to cry.

You found that fairy land in the Unicorn's eye.
