Starlight and Shadows

By: Abboud, Deedra

A unicorn with a chrysanthemum mane galloping into darkness.
Friends at my hooves, fate at my horn.
One chosen spark to outshine a shadow swallowing my home.

Moonbeams tangle in my mane as squirrels giggle at danger.
The Thicket of Whispers tries to trip me.
The Gorge of Echoes howls my secrets back.
Feathers and wisdom flutter from an owl's branch just when hope dims.
We band together, light leaking from every laugh, every leap, every spark of courage.
Legends say only the bravest heart can bring dawn to the forest.
Turns out, that heart beats in me.

I charge straight into the midnight heart.
Magic waits to be unleashed.
If I fall, the forest falls with me-
But this unicorn never lets the dark call last.
The night is watching.
My light is just beginning to blaze.
