Unicorn Tears

Melt even the coldest heart

A black robed wizard trudging through a blizzard,
came upon two shivering unicorns;
an adult female with a silver horn
lay next to her new born,
crying and forlorn.

The mother’s crystal tears
fell into the snow
and melted
the wizard’s heart of ice and stone.

Wiping a tear
from his blue eyes,
he used his magic
to construct a shelter
safe and warm
from the midwinter storm.
