~The Last Unicorn~

The last unicorn who walked this earth
(or so I thought.....)
Has come to me in the other realm
He told me of a secret place,
And offered to take me there.

On mighty leg he bent
Allowing me to climb aboard
I settled myself upon his back
Preparing myself for the flight

High up into the air we soared
Stopping only once so that I could enjoy the splendor
But on we flew to another place
One that would hold my secret treasure.

All too soon my ride was over
He knelt back down
To let me off
And walked me over to a clearing in the forest

I entered timidly at first
Not sure of hat I would see
But much to my surprise
There was a world unknown to me

I knelt down to get a better look
And saw the fairy's dancing there
Around another unicorn!
So careless and free were they
That I sat a bit and adored their whimsical ways

All too soon He came back for me
Telling me it was time to go
I was not ready yet,
I felt so at home

He playfully nudged my shoulder
Promising me that He will come for me again
That next time it would be longer
Maybe that time, He will let me stay
