Wild and Free by mousethief

mousethief's Comments:  Here's one I wrote when I was about 17 years old, more or less.

While sleeping on a summer night
Beneath a broad oak tree
I woke to find a unicorn
Running wild and free
Running wild and free
(repeat this phrase after each verse)

I held my breath and turned to watch
The show he gave for me
Dancing gracefully beneath the stars
And running wild and free 

And when at last his dance was done
He shyly came to me
And bid me climb upon his back,
Go running wild and free 

And so we ran beneath the moon
The unicorn and me
So clean and pure that summer night
We were running wild and free 

I often think back to that night
And what it meant to me
How dull men's lives are when compared
To running wild and free!
