*My muse and I have been lying low for a while, so there are a quite a few of you here I don't know.Hello to you all, I'm Krista.  Unicorns have been a love affair of mine since I was a little girl.I have written several pieces about them, but felt the need to come back to them.Thus the title, "The Unicorn, Revisted".*Lucid silhouettes unite... Beauty--and beast--possessing ~One Soul~ A rebirth of a shining moment Casts sweet shimmers To open the shadows Of a long-remembered dream. The moonlight falls in petals Through netted clouds And onto shapely curves As she gazes upon him ~Enraptured~ By silver-threaded mane And jeweled eyes. Evening gathers itself In cool folds around them As he casts mellifluous whispers Deep into her... She closes her eyes And allows the pause of time To possess them both... And for a second (and an eternity) They own each other’s souls... Startled from dreams She finds him departed... With nothing remaining But hoof-prints upon the earth And a sparkle somewhere beyond The glow of dawn’s horizon. Then, with a tear and a sigh She softly speaks: “I am you...and you are I... And our spirits are forever bound By the one true light.... Love.” *Krista Knutson* |

Yes! You describe a unicorn like I never could, breathing into it such grace, beauty and strength until in my mind it glows hallowed. Such power and magic you've woven here in paused moments, an eternal second and eternally bound souls. And our spirits are forever bound By the one true light.... Love.” Wondrous and beautiful, my dear, I hope your muse speaks more often, the product is beyond compare  "A hard, cold wisom is required for goodness to accomplish good. Goodness without wisdom always accomplishes evil" - Robert Heinlein |
