A Unicorn Poem copyright © 1997 by Cheri -rift- Meier (used by permission) I saw a unicorn          the other day. Just a fleeting glimpse,          before it faded away. That healing creature,          I thought I'd never see; Because of all the damage          That's been done to me. Her mane was flying,          As if in a wind; And she looked right at me,          Despite all my sins. She faded away,          And then she was gone. But she left me a gift:          In my soul, there's a song. It's a song about hope.          It's a song about living. It's about a hope that comes true.          And that's just the beginning. For the search is on, my friends,          To find a unicorn once more; Searching through this life, 'til its end,          And then: Death is but a door.
