 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.
