We stumble like children
Strive greedily to take in as much light and love
Find comfort in the rhythm of the sea
To synchronize with the frequency of the waves.
A coaxing whisper when the wind lips the trees
To make impossible poems from space and silence
Cities  intrude into the distant humming welcoming darkness
Seething with hidden life
A little bit of the sun and moon
Part earth and sea, wind and fire
The surge of grief,
The respite of peace,
Then fear again
And the mystery wraps the earth in waves
This infinite procession of life

Gypsy

The shore and the wave
Breaking in measured thunder
The minnows of this ichthyological metaphor'
Aphrodite on her scalloped chariot
The echoing dunes,
That kind of intoxicating insanity
Other people dreaming outside of the lines
Walking into my life
Needing someone to love them beyond reason
I breathed all of them in so deeply
Fascinated by touching eternity
The ocean's pulse
The voices of tides
Navigating the shores of the heart
Night's black spell on darkness
Caught the light, the air, the wind
Running down the edges
As we are crying the oceans, in our tears
I Am.....

Gypsy

The horn of plenty
The allure of inexhaustible gifts
Cheap optimism
The bones of antediluvian monsters
The soul, summoned out of its body
Partly dream,
Partly fear,
Partly despair
The fundamental urge to slay, to ravage, to plunder
This moaning pessimism
Amid luxury and security  ..
This com-modified universe is our boredom..

Gypsy

This sensitive thread
This magic we would deem imagination
It affects the infected in an instant.
It takes but one word,
One thought,
One act to become immersed..

Sometimes an angel is found in the dark.

To stop it is hopeless.
To stifle it, demanding.
To think to master it is both improbable and pretentious

It is nature's drug
A poison we call emotion...
There is the sadness of division
This invisible hand that blinds our eyes  
Reigns our hearts  
Even among the Angels,
A Beauty
That's both ethereal and dark.

Gypsy

Beyond the memories of a thousand murdered Generations
On the edge of useless law
Us
New citizens of Rome
Surrounded and absorbed...

In ceremony, we journey through this world
Beyond the memories
Beyond bad dreams
To the givers of Prayer

Gypsy

Pregnant with  the seed of purpose...
Submit your passions,
Sentiments
Weaknesses
You are what you dream

Gypsy

Acting like sheep
In our search for truth ..

The ridiculous and the sublime
The glory of the setting Sun
The driest land
The infinitesimal seedlings
The promptings of available light
Moisture,
The trees constructing a moderate zone
Tempering the climate
Mourning something that never was
The shadow of a caress
Standing at the gates of heaven
As the moon
Moved all the  heavens to music
