Love<br />
Amalthea, The Unicorn<br />
Gene Dixon<br />
Are you really light as air Can you truly fly<br />
Does your graceful, spiral lance put stars into the sky<br />
You walk in quiet beauty. Your name is world renowned.<br />
Upon what silver pasture can the likes of you be found<br />
Flowing soft from crown to nape you wear a cloudlike mane.<br />
Your eyes have captured moonlight, you dance inside the rain.<br />
You move as soft as silence, like shadows on the ground.<br />
Upon what misty meadow can the likes of you be found<br />
Your image lives in poet's dreams, a fragile flower, free.<br />
In time you've touched the topaz sky and swum the emerald sea.<br />
A carousel has been your world with children spinning 'round.<br />
Among what rainbow visions can the likes of you be found<br />
The mystery of your magic lives in every tale that's told<br />
of princesses in peril, of knights whose hearts are bold.<br />
In the eyes of kings and emperors your images abound.<br />
Oh, where, in God's creation, can the likes of you be found<br />
Immortals, frail and delicate, live mostly in our dreams.<br />
Love, like truth and unicorns, is seldom what it seems.<br />
Still we strain to feel its tender touch and tremble at its sound.<br />
Within which lover's laughter can the likes of you be found<br />
