Miraculous Things

When miraculous things happen 
the mind screams in disbelief. 
While lying in a meadow 
the summer sun striking the daisies gold
There he stood, the unicorn from my scrapbook
Alive in splendour, his flowing mane and tail
white and gold, blue eyes that cannot be forgotten
He moved towards me his thoughts inside my head
Come follow me, stay awhile in my world.
That's when I heard the warning bell…

The land of the fey is no place 
for mortals to stay too long
To eat their food is to lose your soul, 
lose time in your own world
Your family thinking you lost move on, 
grow older while you stay the same
Should I risk one minute 
in this Alice in Wonderland moment?
My heart said yes, my mind said no
Keep your childhood wonders in picture form
Get up, run for home…
