    The Unicorn



    Lazing in a field of grass I came upon a silly ass.

    "Is this your home?" he said to me.

    I cried aloud, "this cannot be!"

    "What cannot be?" he questioned me later.

    "Am I seeing things or are you a satyr?"

    "Eye, a satyr I've been since I was born. And you my sweet are a unicorn."

    Running to a pond near a field of daisies I said to him, "You must be crazy!"

    "I am." he said, "Just look and see.

    I cried aloud, "This cannot be!"

    For as I looked into the water I did not see the farmer's daughter.

    Reflections on the water soon had born the striking figure of a unicorn.

    The symbol of the ancient land of Atlantis.

    The satyr turned into a praying Mantis

    The unicorn to a butterfly

    The field of grass into the sky.

    Lazing in a field of grass, we may find in time all things will pass.



    An original composition by: Margaret Barton-Wahl

    I loved it, humorous and fanciful, also very true ... a great close.

    Hard to follow ... maybe it's just me ... being too dense.

    Poetry is what is lost in translation.
