Not sure about the last line, folks... Any suggestions?
Should a mystical unicorn (Tang of spray, flowering may) Chance to appear Among twilit hours (Scent of breeze, whisper, trees) What is your song? "I'm such a lucky one! (Wholly, oh holy) And that I lived to see Unicorn magic - me! Lucky, so lucky, I be!" Should a mystical unicorn (Flowering spray, tang of may) Chance to appear Among moonlit hours (Scent of trees, whisper, breeze) What is your song? "Fearful, oh sad I am! (Greatly, oh, fatefully) And that I lived to see Unicorn terror - me! Fearful, so fearful I be!" Should a mystical unicorn (Flower trees, tang of breeze) Chance to appear Among midnight hours (Scent of may, whisper, spray) What is your song? "I have crossed over oh (New land, I understand) And that I lived to see Unicorn country - me! Foreign - oh lost here - I be!" Should a mystical unicorn (Tang of trees, flower, breeze) Chance to appear Among morning hours (Whisper may, scent of spray) What is your song? "It has come here to us (Ranged to us, strange to us) And that I lived to see Unicorn living - me! Awestruck, oh awestruck I be!" Should a mystical unicorn (Whispering trees) Chance to appear (Flowers in the breeze) Among the dawning hours (Tang of the may) Silver hooves stepping past (Scent of the spray) Step forth in break of day (Whisper tree, tang of may) Shadows of sun lie long What, then, would be your song? "It isn't here at all (Disbelief, much relief) And that I must insist Unicorns don't exist And I'm a realist." That is your song? "I don't hear it, I can't see it, I don’t know it, I won't be it I can't show it Feel it, touch it So it isn't there. Of Superstition – I am free Magic really isn't me." Should a mystical unicorn (Tang of spray, flowering may) Chance to appear Among daylit hours (Scent of breeze, whisper, trees) What is your song? Are you so lucky Or are you so fearful Or are you adrift in Mysterious lands Are you just bored Are you quite overawed Welcoming magic With all its demands? Are you wilfully deaf And defiantly blind And will you pretend That you're out of your mind? Oh mystical unicorn, what are you now? A shadow of magic – Or just a white cow?

We all have a talent , some never know their's .. But you captured the essence of a wondering and mystical mind that we all should experience at least once in a while. Keep floating in your mind and catch that dream we all wish we had.. This was great . Keep up the good work. God Bless

The heart that can't see a unicorn is dead to all that truely matters. Wonderfully mystic and immaginative.
