With closed eyes squeezed tight I wrung both my hands And thought I had found myself Cast adrift alone in far off lands I slowly opened one eye a slot And quickly realised I’d rather have not I had wandered deep into a forest glade Following the sound a warbler had made And when I looked down I was amazed To see bluebells dancing between grassy blades Each bell seemed to call a certain sound Ringing sweetly to me from all around A bright gleaming light shot through the trees And all about me the birds and bees I began to feel a joy not known before And allowed it to seep through every pore I looked far beyond the bluebell haze And thought I’d slipped into ecstatic daze For there in front of holly trees Stood a creature not known for centuries It’s beauty and strength were felt at length With eyes so bright I stepped back in fright It’s mane was glorious its nature raw And between its ears its magnificence I saw For purity and grace come not often to face With some thing so wild only a maiden can chase I reached out my hand to offer it peace And was surprised when it walked to me with such ease It knelt down beside me and lay in the grass I lingered a moment and time seemed to pass We were lost in our day dream for ever some say Just me and my legendary horse for the day

Ode to a Unicorn
With closed eyes squeezed tight I wrung both my hands And thought I had found myself Cast adrift alone in far off lands I slowly opened one eye a slot And quickly realised I’d rather have not I had wandered deep into a forest glade Following the sound a warbler had made And when I looked down I was amazed To see bluebells dancing between grassy blades Each bell seemed to call a certain sound Ringing sweetly to me from all around A bright gleaming light shot through the trees And all about me the birds and bees I began to feel a joy not known before And allowed it to seep through every pore I looked far beyond the bluebell haze And thought I’d slipped into ecstatic daze For there in front of holly trees Stood a creature not known for centuries It’s beauty and strength were felt at length With eyes so bright I stepped back in fright It’s mane was glorious its nature raw And between its ears its magnificence I saw For purity and grace come not often to face With some thing so wild only a maiden can chase I reached out my hand to offer it peace And was surprised when it walked to me with such ease It knelt down beside me and lay in the grass I lingered a moment and time seemed to pass We were lost in our day dream for ever some say Just me and my legendary horse for the day
