Unicorn Dreamland

Inspired by Herb Ernst’s beautiful song, “Unicorn Dreamlands”
          Illustration from the 1998 movie “Nico The Unicorn”
 
As a youth I had a secret place, I would visit in the night;
If I was scared and feeling insecure, it would cure me of my fright!
It was sunny and very verdant, lilac aromas filled the air;
A place of only happiness, where I never had a care!
.
I called it “Unicorn Dreamland”, for that was where one lived;
He was gentle, very loving, as sweet kisses, he did me give!
Sometimes I would ride atop him, holding onto his sacred horn;
We would soar up to the Heavens, in the sunlight’s early morn!
.
Then he’d bring me back to my world, and we both would say goodbye;
And as he was departing, these words I’d hear him sigh!
“Fear not my little Soulmate, for someday you’ll be a man”;
“But till then, I’ll always be there, in your Unicorn Dreamland”!
.
.
                             In dreams of my youth
                           I found true Paradise with
                                The Unicorn’s love
