Gypsy

If only I could give myself To the fine wind, That takes its course through the chaos of the world, airy as a feather agile as a dust. Only if I let it bear me, Sweep me off my feet. If only I could give myself to the crested wave that rolls through the raging sea, slick as a seal smooth as silk. Only if I could borrow myself To the burning fire With golden flicks of flaring arms Let it Light me to ashes. Only then shall I be woken, and on my way again..
