In a place so far away,
No one knows that it's there.
A land so dense with beauty,
It takes one's breath away.
.Flowers of all colours and sizes,
And of all different varieties.
Trees so full and vibrant,
And of all kinds and shapes.
The sun filters thru
And gives it's warming rays.
Rain comes every day,
In a gentle short slowness.
Winter never comes to this place,
And never gets very hot.
The temperatures stay the same,
And there are only whispers of breezes.
Small animals live there,
Where no preditors are allowed.
Every one of them are happy and content,
For there is no need to fear.
They scamper amongst the flowers,
Playing their little animal games.
Never afraid to be caught unawares,
Because they feel so very safe.
Birds of all kinds watch from the trees,
As they sing their loving songs.
They flit around the animals below,
And serenade for all to hear.
You would think it so noisy,
To hear and see all
the carousal of their play.
But it is the kind of revelry,
That is music to your ears.
A kind of magic inhabits this place;
Of shimmering sun rays, rain drops,
colours and aromas.
Everything seems to glitter,
And shine with glorious halos.
There is a reason why,
No one comes to this place.
All the creatures know too,
Why this is so very true.
There is one other who lives there,
Someone so beautiful and perfect.
She is the one who makes it safe,
And keeps out all the evilness.
Her name is unknown,
But the creatures love her just the same.
She has been granted an art of sorts;
Everything she touches springs with beauty.
She has a companion of such grandness;
Shimmering white of great purity.
A Unicorn that loves her and
never wanders too far,
For without each other
the magic would wither and die.
In her etheral dress flowing softly,
The woman watches over all.
Standing beside her with great grace,
The Unicorn takes his vigil too.
For it is said that if these two,
Ever leave or die,
This special magical haven,
Would surely cease to exist forever.
The have lived there for a millenia,
And expect to stay forever more.
God has granted them this place,
Of love and tenderness to care for.
It has been untouched by human hands,
And will always be so.
The only ones who have been allowed there,
Is a magical Faery and a Unicorn.
They watch over all that is there,
And never leave them alone.
For without their ever vigilence,
There would be no magical haven.
