Request

With great respect he asked once more, “How long
must we remain within this realm?” A tear
now etched its lonely path; he felt it wrong
to dwell where everything which once was dear

to creatures such as he. The elf and gnome
stayed hidden in dense forest or dark cave
while dragons and fierce griffons made their home
in lofty mountain holds. None dared to brave

the eyes of man. Not so in ancient days
when innocence had reigned; all lived in peace
and harmony. Mankind had changed their ways
and so the Unicorn pled for release.

His answer came; “Stay for a little while!”
said Luna with her bright familiar smile.

When power leads man toward arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the areas of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of his existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.
John Fitzgerald Kennedy



Kindness is a seed sown by the gentlest hand, growing care's flowers.
