Never satisfied with silence and non-motion, the Gypsy finds it in herself once more to stretch the strength she was born to own and ignite when the time seemed right. The time was right, right now. The grapple to exist for a purpose in the universe haunted her days and nights. No other thought occupied her restless mind or her broken heart. What was it that she needed to accomplish? Where was it that she would feel that she belonged? The questions were endless – the answers elusive. She started this part of the journey by cleansing her soul and freeing her thoughts and on a wing and a prayer she plunged into the phase.
The Gypsy Continues
Then the winds of change blew rampant
As they rustled through the trees
Did hit the gypsy solidly
And knock her to her knees.
She raised her eyes to heaven
And thanked her lucky stars,
For the strength she had been given
To separate those bars.
If it had been
In years of past
The ship would set to sail
Instead she waits
By the in box
For tickets via email.
Her destination is unknown
As she contemplates her choices.
The gypsy sure of just one thing…
Her singing heart rejoices.
When she leaves that life behind
For twenty-seven days,
The universe must guide her
As she stumbles through the haze.
And sure enough those angels
Who had brought her to this point,
Choose to float and fly with patience,
Helping God anoint.
Ever grateful, still uncertain
Of the journey she is on,
The gypsy takes advantage of
The freedom she has longed.
Only she will recognize
When the reason comes to surface,
Why the need for solitude;
What is her very purpose?
Wandering without an anchor,
Charmed by all in sight,
No one sees the gypsy’s pain
Or thinks she’s earned the right.

The poem above can be found along with others on this blog in my book ‘5 Pillars of the Gypsy’ which is available on Amazon and other on-line retailers. Later this week I will be releasing the e-book format of the book.
Have a great weekend everyone and thanks so much for all your kindness and support , Lesley

I have always been intrigued by gypsies. Maybe it is because they have so much freedon and don’t tie themselves down. Loved the poem

Yes – they remain a mystery and are considered by many to fall into the category of ‘mystical’ but they do exist and as I have discovered are greatly mis-understood. But then again – who isn’t ? thanks for your comment Peggy, Lesley
I am searching for more Gypsy related photos and facts to post on the Blog but have come across a lot of hog-wash 🙂
