WAITING FOR THE UNICORN
Always in my mind
Rides the dream
Silver light and darkness
Diana in the moonlight
Stalking shadows
Bow and arrow poised
Waiting for Apollo
To drop burning from the sky
Revealing unseen beasts
And beauties
Waiting
Eternally waiting
For the arrow to fly
And waiting too
For the unicorn.

Beautiful and unusual
Great poem
My Little Drummer boys
Is that one of the Unicorn tapestries from the Cloisters? I saw those before Ian was born and they were simply gorgeous.
The poem is wonderful!
Hi baby amore - thank you.
snoopmurph - I think (learned this last night) that there are two sets of unicorn tapestries. This is part of a six piece set called Lady with Unicorn. Five of the tapestries represent the senses and this one, which is the last represents love. http://arthistory.heindorffhus.dk/frame-TapestryUnicornLady.htm
Here are the ones from the Cloisters. That's such an exquisite spot. I remember going there too. http://www.metmuseum.org/explore/unicorn/unicorn_splash.htm
Raven, how beautiful! You really have a wonderful talent.
I just saw this week on Michele's(Rocky Mountain Retreat) her collection of unicorns.
I'm hoping there's one in the woods behind my house waiting for the best moment to appear:)
I love the Cloisters! an amazing place to visit. like stepping into another world.
