Velvet Darkness
Gathering of the unicorns
The Spirits Kiss Me Awake
When it is silent,
And the skies are dark
I can taste the nectar
of Inspiration
The silver hush
Blowing over the crown of my head
Unicorns gather
The fragrance of amethyst and ferns
They gaze into my eyes
And I grow drunk
with ecstasy
Stumbling into bliss
Plum-colored stars
cascade over me
The omnidimensional sight
Mermaids rest in the moss
while the soft song of crickets
fills the night
I long for the spell of this hour
When I dwell in worlds
so magical
They make me homesick
