In the heartache of deception
And the reality of rejection…
Beneath the layers of concrete
Poured, hardened, and cured,
A seed awaits.
Hope renews
Life proceeds
At speeds and vibrations
Spinning out of control.
Floods of salty tears
Seek air and wait
For the seed to grow
Beneath the sorrow and sadness.
Laughter rings.
Smiles form.
The universe shudders.
Control
Support
And the love of collective energy
Empowers and uplifts.
A unicorn walks
Across the meadow alone.
Strong in her ability to stand tall
Wherever she may roam.
Drawn to the sea
Yet pulled to the slab of concrete
To unearth the buried.
Hope for love
An innate connection
Want and yearning.
Life, simple
And fragile
And frail
Yet strong…
With its gentle touch.
A search for water’s aid
Her salty tears
Form a rainbow’s arc.
The unicorn’s hoofs crack
The concrete open
Allowing light
Onto the path
Of becoming
Everything she was meant to be.
One tiny moment,
A culmination of
A lifetime of hope
A fell swoop of loss
The seed erupts.
With the support of 1000 hooves,
She grows.
Not yet a blossom.
Not yet a bloom.
Only a spark
Ignited by the sun’s light.
Patience
Grace
And song
Will be her food;
Support
Laughter
And longing
Will be her hope.
As she becomes.
Thanks to the unicorn
Who refused to seek the sea
But… stayed to
Unearth the forgotten.
