Unicorn Muse
She’s seduced by the
seasons.
Beguiled by winter’s
crystalline craft.
Pleased by autumn wildflowers
popping up in unexpected
places.
Delighted by summer’s
delectable treats.
Teased by spring scents borne
on the breeze.
Charmed by cardinals, tickled
by chipmunks, she’s
elusive: filtered sunlight,
luminescent fireflies,
mystical moonlight,
morning glory magic.
She doesn’t come when
called.
Won’t be beckoned. Only appears
at improbable moments.
Evanescent, evasive, she hovers
ever primed for escape --
butterfly, hummingbird, damselfly.
Mayhap a chimera?
Or maybe,
more like a unicorn:
wild, untamed, unbroken.
She won’t be roped and ridden.
Unsubstantiated creature.
A wholly mythical beast –
unless you believe.
