Description
I have wanted to add this for a while. This was taken at my wedding by . He was our wedding photographer. This is my favorite pic of us! The love of the dragon and the unicorn!Photography By Thomas Izaguirre
This is the poem that my love wrote for me back in 1985 when we first started dating. It was in our wedding program and was read for us during the processional by his oldest son Robert.
The Dragon and the Unicorn by Frederick R. Toney
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A graceful unicorn lounging in a meadow,
Its hooves glisten gold, its horn pure ivory.
Stark white in the green field, its beauty unmatched
As it stretches, listening.
In the air the dragon flies, lazily drifting
From cloud to cloud, the sun playing off the silvery scales.
The huge, old beast spins down and alights
On the unicorn’s meadow, gently, quietly.
The two ponder each other’s presence
And silently the unicorn stands.
As the dragon’s wings are furled,
The unicorn gently nuzzles the dragon.
The two creatures, one of power, one of grace,
So alike the other and yet so different to themselves.
The great silver dragon looms protectively
Over the slender white unicorn, guarding patiently.
Others dreams cannot observe the fact
That love’s boundaries are set only where the heart wills.
For that reason, no love can be as deep or as strong,
As the love of the dragon and the unicorn.

Most definitely! Thank you for the links, I never had a word for it but you hit it right on the head!!! The split apart theory was Plato, and here is a link to a blog that has the excerpt form Plato's Symposium about split aparts:

That we were created as one being and we were split apart into two and scattered and had to find our "split-aparts", our other half.
