Today I found some lost magic

by Josh D.  

Today I found some lost magic
A twisty- twirly horn 
of a unicorn lying at my feet.
 And when I stopped
 to pick it up to hold it in my fist
I remembered how once upon a time

you could always find a unicorn

there are no unicorns now.

You'd  find them on the shoreline flitting

in and out of caves in cliffs or climbing hills

In the Twilight they would lead you through forest

sometimes hiding behind trees and if you lost them

or they lost you you could always find them again 
but there are no unicorns

 And it didn't matter if you followed them all day

the edge of the world was miles away

there was nothing to fear

and none of the unicorns who knew

ever changed into dangerous strangers

once upon a time there were unicorns 
But there are no unicorns now.
