Beneath A Full Moon

 

On a winter’s eve, cold and clear

Beneath a bright full moon

Seeking answers to my troubles

Needing to find them soon

 

I stood and looked into the woods

Feeling quite forlorn

When from the trees emerged a vision

A gorgeous unicorn

 

He nudged me gently with his head

Offering his horn

With wonder I touched it with my hand

And knew I’d been reborn

 

In quiet awe I watched him leave

Back the way he came

Knowing that from this day on

Nothing would be the same

 

I walked into my empty house

In relative good cheer

Magic had happened here this night

To ring in a New Year

Wow you capture the wonder of the night of the full moon perfectly. I have to admit as a writer there are a few things that I seem at a loss for words when wanting to describe them and one of those is the magic and etheral feeling of blue moonlit rays on new fallen snow- there is so much more to said about the aura it creates and yet it leaves me dumbfounded but you- you write about it and make it seem so right and make the creating of the vision seem so effortless. Amazing!

Unicorns are .lucky and magical, may miracles and happiness come your way beneath the full moon.
Lovely poem, Shelly

This is absolutely stunning, you created such a vibrate image of a fantasy encounter... Happy New Year :-)

oh man. I absolutely LOVE unicorns and no one writes about them anymore. thank you - you made me all teary eyed and mushy with this post. Its beautiful and reminds me of a time when I actually could close my eyes and dream.

I woke up this morning with the words 'miracles' and 'magic' in my head and wanting to do something with them. Now I know why I haven't been successful yet -- I was being directed here to your poem, just when I needed to find it.

A childlike innocence and patience exudes from your words, Laura, and they are so refreshing. I feel there's a promise here -- I hope of miracles and magic for you, and for all this troubled world -- and you've captured its possibilities beautifully.

Thanks for this, and prayers and blessings!

Laura - this is stunning! I love the magical feel to it, it's dreamlike and so precious and special. The innocent wonder of this left me breathless. Wonderful piece! Happy New year to you!

Interesting! So elegent, yet with a touch of sadness.....

Still, it rings in your mind even after you've read it. Very good!

Magical inspiration in this well written poem, my friend. I enjoyed the lyrical rhythm and rhyme. We all have the opportunity to recreate ourselves when the New Year begins. The unicorn helped facilitate your rebirth! Lovely! Lydia
