POETRY BY BELINDA HAMILTON

"The Dance of the Unicorn" "Back in ancient times//When Ireland stood proud and strong//There lived a beautiful creature//Whose mane flowed down so long//It stepped and pranced//Across the rivers and valleys so green//It was a vision, a sight to behold//For every man, woman and child//Its legend spread beyond Irelands green and pleasant land//And reached the ears of a young boy//Who was just learning how to stand//Once he had stood for many a year//He now wanted so to dance//He remembered that bold Unicorn and how it delicately pranced//In his dreams he saw it gallop and move it's hooves so fast//He wanted to be just like that Unicorn//He wanted to live the dance//Years flew by, that boy became a man//He worked so hard to acheive that dream//Determination in his blood ran//He danced so hard and danced so long//Until that magical day it dawned//And Michael Flatley became that beautiful creature//The proud strong Unicorn//He danced for me, he danced for you//He danced for Ireland, bringing back anew//The poetic heritage that existed in this green land//Long before this man was born//Blessing those with his vision so grand//He beat out those ancient rhythmns//With his heels and his toes//The drum pounded ever faster//As the crowds excitement grows//The flame it builds to become one almighty roar//It's cry heard throughout the Universe//Echoing round the planets//As if it were solar wind//This rhythmn so eloquent and divine//Was both sexual and primitive//As it danced on down thru time//To see this noble stallion//Dance with such speed and grace//Bought a smile of joy and radiance//To the mystic Unicorns face//At last, he said, to one and all//I know now that I have seen it all//This man he dances in honour of me//I know this gift must surely be//The greatest tribute ever paid to thee//And all Celts throughout the land//Let this dance continue on//Til time has reached it's natural end//And we are all but sand" (c) Belinda Hamilton, Oct.30, 1999 *************************************** 'WILD HORSES' "Wild horses won't drag me away from him//As long as I'm standing and still breathing//Those wild horses fly across the waves and sand//Breaking the barriers of light and sound//Pushing past the moon and into space//Their hooves flying and thundering in this race//As fast as they gallop and as sure as they run//These wild horses will fail to stop this one//In her quest for Michaels dance//To feel once again the passion enhanced//When that bright Unicorn first steps out//Even wild horses will be forced to slow down//The joy and the rapture will ripple out like waves//My soul will, once again, be saved//So let the lights burn and the music play//I cannot wait for this marvellous day//To dawn and renew my spirit again//Let the dance be forever, let it never end//Those wild horses will have to slow//Before with them away I will go//To see my true love, fair and strong//Dance faster back to where he belongs" (c) Belinda Hamiltion Nov, 6 1999
