Gypsies Gather

at nightfall flamboyant
nomad fortune tellers
midst their migration
in colours and flair
romani gypsies gathered
outside their caravan
around a bonfire ablaze

they’d play their fiddles
guitars and cimbalom
singing in unwonted dialects
dancing under moonlight
beneath a dome of stars
in legendary brazen flurry
freedom tossed to the wind

Lovely and one of my favorite daydreams as I truly love everything about this life, and dream of being a gypsy queen almost always.
