You are here, with me.

Within the fall of the gentlest rain, the caress of sunlight on my bare skin and somewhere in the winking of stars.

Your face is carved into the bare ceiling that I gaze at for hours.

Your laughter floods my ears until I hear nothing but you, there is nothing without you.

The warmth of a blanket yet the first kiss of winter wind, you are everywhere.

A trickle of water, a lit candle; fresh glaring streaks of vibrant paint on white walls and thousands of written florid words, never sent.

You’re present when the clock strikes midnight or a book is read aloud.

The overwhelming scent of your hair follows me, leaping between my scattered dreams. There is no escaping the memory of you. So sweet, so bitter.

You never left, and you never will.

I find myself drawn to the graceful and elusive qualities of the unicorn. This mythical creature; a symbol of purity and enchantment, compels me with its simple elegance and mystique. The single, spiralling horn adoring its head is a testament to its uniqueness and individuality, standing proud against conformity.

The unicorn embodies a sense of wonder, reminding us of the beauty that exists and lives beyond the mundane and ordinary. It represents an untamed spirit that refuses to be confined, an embodiment of individual freedom (in a world that is often bound by limitations).

Social expectations of what we should or should not be, often stifles this

individuality, but the unicorn serves as a constant reminder to embrace one's true self. This mythical being encourages us to seek the extraordinary in our own lives — to believe in the possibility of “magic” even in the most fleeting moments.
