Unicorn - Unbound


It’s true!
The Unicorn is bound.
Magic and Mystic
Chained to a tree
Waiting.

Doubting for a moment
(or is it a thousand years?)
Before his heart is stirred again –
Awakened by a light
The sceptered spectrum
And flight.

  1. Beautiful poetry. I wonder what, and how long it will take before the unicorn comes unbound?

  2. On one level it is the famous tapestry at the Cloisters Museum in NYC. It has been there forever. Since that thing, a poem?, I dug out of an old journal, I think the unicorn has come and gone a few times after the museum closes everyday.
