Unicorn

I saw the breath of a unicorn
Rise up from ‘neath the waves
Crystal bubbles of colored light
Popping with a ping as they met the air
And how I knew their beloved source
Was swimming in the sea
The top of its snow white horn, of course,
Bobbed up and down, you see.
The sun was just inclining in height
The clouds were all going their way
And as the mist rose from the sea
I watched to catch a glimpse of it:
The myth-maker revealed in the Bible.
And soon enough, it pranced proud
To the waters edge among the gallant curls
Of sleepy waves, a string of sea shells
And starfish sported about its neck.
It shook away the water from its satin coat
Prismic dots of rainbows bright
Then as the droplets and the mist
It, too, faded from my sight.
Was it real or an image of hope
Drawn on a message from long ago?
I know that I saw it in faith and fate.
God’s will, my joy, the world’s recreation.
