Poem
Oh beautiful Gypsy, I see you there, in amber campfire mist. On the banks of a crystalline pool, a bronze skinned lovely moving with intoxicating rhythm to the strum of guitars. Sable eyes, gleaming with wanderlust, transfixed on distant dreams. Raven hair sheens cobalt blue, in glow of a pale full moon. The tethered babushka and brilliant layered skirt, your banners of freedom. Knee high boots clad dancing feet, in a feverish itch to perform on new stages. Your opulence, jingle jangling from dainty wrists and pierced lobes, echoes the hypnotic song of rattling tambourines. A blissful celebration in your enchanted home of nebulous walls forged of the four winds. Oh beautiful Gypsy; Last of the true migrants, paying homage only to purity of your clan. The devout mystic, whose babes suckle the nectar of white magic. Your larder bulges fat, having labored a deconstructed nine to five. A harmonious oneness with nature, your forte, honed to perfection in compassionate artistic crafts. With gentleness, you bring calm obedience to the untamed steed. In thoughtful consideration, parleying the fate and fortune of the gadjo, eager to lay down their silver and gold for charms and spells. You trade in good faith only to be slandered in whispers of vagabond and theif. Your colorful lifestyle, jaded to a monotone hue of envious green. A hopeless romantic smothered in Judas kisses. Oh beautiful Gypsy, Even as you celebrate in this newly discovered place, it's freshness grows stale to your delicate senses. A bohemian lineage begs you go before the next cock crows. The insatiable hunger to feast your eyes on unfamiliar lands pangs your very essence. It has proven to be far too great for you to abstain; for it is the morrow. A radiant sunrise reveals an abandoned starry eyed reflection lingering on a lonesome pond. The scent of pungent garlic, rich brew and sweet tobacco hovers, as a perfumed phantom, in the desolate air. Tracks of your wagon wheels flow through emerald meadows like a lazy river, avoiding stagnation. Conformity lies choking in the dust of your painted caravan. A nomadic soul in dreamy persuit of the horizon that looms forever in the distance. Till we never meet again, Oh beautiful Gypsy
