In the Arctic waters, my darlings, that is where the Narwhals are alive.
They dance and play my darlings in the Straits of Davis in Baffin Bay
Are they real these Narwhals are they truly the Unicorns of the sea
Do they live forever, full of secrets and magical joy to give
Yes, yes my darlings the Narwhal is as real and alive as you and me
I do not know, my darlings how long the Narwhal will live.
Eskimos hunt them with canoes and spear
Eskimos slay them to use as food and for their tusks and skins
The Narwhal is the Unicorn of the sea but that they might die out is my lasting fear
Lets pray my darlings that the Narwhals out live the Unicorns.

Lisa picked this weeks Musical Theme : Where Unicorns Play. as usual I am late!
beautiful song by America
The Maiden and the Unicorn from the beautiful film Legend
The Unicorn in the Bible
Job 39:9-12King James Version (KJV)
9 Will the unicorn be willing to serve thee, or abide by thy crib?
10 Canst thou bind the unicorn with his band in the furrow? or will he harrow the valleys after thee?
11 Wilt thou trust him, because his strength is great? or wilt thou leave thy labour to him?
12 Wilt thou believe him, that he will bring home thy seed, and gather it into thy barn?
King James Version
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Where Unicorns play, well that must of been when the world was young, maybe just after Adam and Eve were thrown out of Paradise the beautiful Unicorns followed them.
The fly across the skies at night when we cannot sleep, they sing to us when our minds are rent in two with pain and sorrow. They stood at the cross at Calgary to ease Jesus’s pain.
They are not really gone we just are not clever enough to see them any more!
Female, wife, full time mother and Grandmother. I am not as happy go lucky as I used to be but I am still bubbling along on simmer! I have three handsome sons all grown and flown.The youngest married with a beautiful wife and two sons of his own. Eleven years ago I was working, running a home, driving and socializing then bang in a split second all that was gone. I had an accident at home. I broke my back, not for the first time, I had broken it 10 years previously as well. Unfortunately this time I had broken it really badly and it was truly messed up so I had to have two operations. I was told before each operation that the outcome could mean I spend the rest of my life in a wheelchair. Still as some guy once wrote "I am still standing " yes "better than I ever was " not quite but with the help of a walking stick and as long as I do not stand or sit in one position for too long, I am still standing! Update I no longer use the walking stick . I had lots of friends before the accident but when things like this happen, you loose most of them. Their lives move on and mine stood still and so they left me behind ...I know that is just the way life is but it hurt and always will. Then I looked around and saw those who were still there for me, these friends are the roses in my garden they need to be tended well. They are the diamonds in the dust, I will of been married 50yrs plus this year . Pain and boredom are my enemies now, I have to find different ways to approach life, use my pain befriend it almost...yer right , well that is what they tell me at the pain clinic ROFLMAO ...... if only I could! I have found an outlet for my fears, frustrations and night terrors . I have started writing poetry if that name can be applied to my writing. I hope I do not come over as a moaning winger. I hope I am past all that. I also hope that you might see how the poetry is moving from very dark through the grey and
hopefully in to light ??
I need to update this a little here. I have worked very hard over the years since my accident, I go to the gym regularly, I have a Pilates class and a core class once a week . The guys at the gym and my Pilates teacher cajoled, teased, bullied and encouraged me to abandon my walking stick! :) My back is no longer straight it is C shaped because of the injury and I have lost two and a half inches in height but my Pilates and Core teachers have helped me to stand up as straight and as strongly as possible. Pain and depression are still hanging on my arm but I have weapons to use against them and if I say so myself I cope well.
I have made lots of new friends, real diamonds. I am also very grateful for all the support and help I have encountered here on Wordpress. Hugs and welcome to everyone who visits.

It’s a long time since I’ve been most places. Trying to get my blog-groove back. LOL.
I think you’ve got a point about the Narwhales and Unicorns being related. One on land and one in the water. Makes perfect balance sense to me.
I hope you’ll join The Journey music theme for next week. Where have your red high heels been? Hmm?
So glad that you are back! I really think that the Unicorn is related to the the Narwhal, I think the Narwhal actually proves that the Unicorn existed! Yes as controversial that is I said here!! 😉 Those High Heels have been along the long and winding and skipped round the yellow brick one too but smooth or rocky I am still standing , what about you ?? 🙂 I shall do my best to join in! ❤
Well done Willow, I’ve enjoyed the narrative as well as the music! I do pray that the mystical Narwhals will survive humanity and forgive our trespasses. Peace♥
