Sylphandra's World: Have You Seen a Unicorn?

Have you seen a unicorn?

I am searching for a unicorn, yes a unicorn.

Crazy you say, yes it is,

for a Unicorn is but a mythical creature,

a beautiful creature, a noble creature.

A unicorn is selfless yet solitary, fierce yet good,

graceful yet unconquerable;

and only captured by means of trickery.

Unicorns were never feared

But always admired and even coveted for their magic.

Have you seen a unicorn?

Nor have I, and I truly do not search for one.

But I think I shall find a unicorn

before I find the true thing for which I search.

That illusive love, that connection;

some call it a soulmate, Plato called it a splitapart.

I had such dreams, such naïve ideas

I searched for the one I had loved but not in this life

I knew I had loved in another lifetime

and felt that love had survived death into eternity.

Have you seen a unicorn?

I’m giving up my search, for like the unicorn,

it is a mythical concept,

It is an illusion at best; one I was a fool to believe;

and at worse, it’s a lie.

Twice I believed I had made that connection,

but it seems I was wrong.

Either I was mistaken, or they lied, for you see,

it doesn’t really exist, now does it?

No I haven't seen a unicorn, silly, they don't exist.
