The Unicorn's Gift

I hear the whispers of green leaves,
of meadow grass, and river reeds.
I feel the wind that pays them heed.
a warm caress the heavens breathe

I hear the singing of the larks,
and fat gray squirrels on wet tree bark,
of buzzing bees, do flowers tend,
a Lovely song that never ends.

I hear the summer singing free,
of life, of love and reverie.
From every voice, in every tree
a lovely song --- but not for me.

The Unicorn Returns

Sarah,

This is one of my favorite stories. I would hope that you might add to the tale with the actual homecoming.

I am glad that this has been selected as a Retro Classis - it is a Classic. A wonderful story of change and, in most cases, acceptance.

As always,

Dru

In my own very biased opinion ...

I think she is one of the best Authors on BCTS. I have loved this story and have been envious that I do not have that gift.

Much peace

Gwendolyn

I'm sad to see this...

...for one reason only and alone: I can't add it to my favorites again!

This is one of my all-time favorite stories! Please read! It's absolutely worth it!

-Liz, who hasn't run out of exclamation points yet! ^__^

The Poem makes Me Want to Read the Story

I like the poem but I am sure some peoples summers
are cooler than others. Where I live they make you
want to hide all day in an air conditioned room but
when Fall comes around the sun still shines and
the weather is cooler. So you will find me hiking
in the Sierras. Actually the foothills, the higher
elevations are greener but it takes a greater degree
of fitness.

I am puzzled by the, "--but not for me." But I guess
the mystery is in the story which I shall read.
