In an old children’s movie
The Last Unicorn,
upon hearing
she’s the final one free,
goes on a quest
to find the others.
She allows Smedrick,
an aspiring magician,
to turn her into to human
to obtain entry to the castle
where all the others
are held by the red bull.
In a foreign human body,
her memory fades day by day,
forgetting the truth of her soul.
Ultimately she faces down
the terrifying red bull,
driving him into the sea,
freeing the others
to return to their homes,
creating pockets of peace,
once again on the land.
And so, we unicorns,
who have chosen human forms
must face the red bull
of our own fears,
to help free each other,
that we may each
create pockets of peace
in own homes and hearts.
