The unicorn, she said, was a marvelous beast, shining with honor, wisdom and strength. Just to see him strengthened the soul."
  -from The Unicorn in the Maze by Megan Lindholm



Unicorn Angel

ebony rises
up into my heart

that sees Darkness
and knows its possession

i fight every inch
of the realm of circling gloom
spiraling outward from
its Vortex of madness
to meet my Own

sharpnel dust from disillusion explodes me - -
leaving only shattered remnants of what
once was me

its unrecognizable black sadness
ironically still seeking
any remains of tortured Light

i entered
that tunnel of inwardness
away from this shattering

and opened my eyes
upon a Unicorn
who then licked the salt
of my swollen Tears

he lead me back
to the point where sanity
had smashed into some nameless Void

and retrieved the shards
of my isolation
mending it, healing it
creating wholeness back into my world
  of bits and pieces . . .
