A/N: This is during the time when the book happens when the Unicorn must leave her forest.

Abandoned

Fragile slivers of gold

Dance in the winds descent

Cool fingers of cold

Creep across the forest floor

Trees shed their bejeweled mantles

To dance naked in the wind

Cold blades of rain

Race the thunder to the ground

Cruel fury of a winter storm

In a land that has only know spring
